UK study outlines nine proposals for future Grangemouth oil refinery use | Hydrogen
UK feasibility study Project Willow has published nine options for the soon-to-close Scottish oil refinery Grangemouth’s future industrial use after evaluating more than 300 technologies. The publication of the £1.5m study – published today by global business consultancy EY in conjunction with the UK government, the Scottish government and refining and energy trading business Petroineos – follows the recent Petroineos decision to decommission the oil refinery. Industrial gases will be critical to at least half of the final proposals. These include fuel switching (replacing natural gas combustion with low carbon hydrogen), anaerobic digestion (AD, fermentation of organic waste and biogas for biomethane), e-methanol and methanol-to-jet (low-carbon hydrogen to produce methanol and convert to SAF), and e-ammonia (produced from hydrogen for shipping and chemicals).
