U.K.’s Essar Energy Transition completes pre-FEED stage for major sustainable fuels hub

Essar Energy Transition has completed the Pre-FEED stage for one of the U.K.’s largest advanced sustainable aviation fuel hubs at its Stanlow refinery. The planned Stanlow Methanol-to-Jet (MtJ) project, integrated into existing site infrastructure, would convert methanol into SAF, marking a key step toward EET’s goal of building a leading low‑carbon process refinery and scaling domestic SAF production.

What aspect of the Stanlow MtJ project do you think will be most impactful for the U.K.—decarbonizing aviation, repurposing existing refinery infrastructure, or boosting domestic fuel security?
