AN UPLIFT in the fortunes of an Ellesmere Port company has been welcomed by the town’s MP. Justin Madders has highlighted the long-standing importance of the Stanlow Refinery to the North West region and to the national economy. As well as the many jobs available at the plant, and with multi-million ‘green’ plans for the future, Mr Madders says it is crucial for the nation to be able to produce its own fuel supplies. Managers of Essar Oil UK Ltd, owner of the former Shell oil refinery since 2011, said after a difficult 12 months the company can look forward to the future with optimism. The refinery continues to operate as normal, with uninterrupted supply of products to meet customer needs.

(Essar) Essar Oil (UK) Limited (Essar) is delighted to join forces with Fulcrum BioEnergy Limited (Fulcrum) and Essar’s subsidiary company Stanlow Terminals Limited to create a new facility which will convert non-recyclable household waste into sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) for use by airlines operating at UK airports.
This innovative bio-refinery will convert several hundred thousand tonnes of pre-processed waste, which would have otherwise been destined for incineration or landfill, into approximately 100 million litres of low carbon SAF annually.
The project, which will see an investment of approximately £600m, will use Fulcrum’s proven waste-to-fuel process, which is already being deployed at its pioneering facility outside of Reno, Nevada in the United States, where operations are due to begin later this year.
