HynetÂ
HyNet is a significant clean growth energy opportunity for the UK, based on the low carbon production of hydrogen from natural gas. It is a complete system of hydrogen production, hydrogen transportation, hydrogen use, and carbon capture and carbon storage located in an area of concentrated industry with an existing technical skill base. HyNet North West comprises multiple standalone, but technically interconnected, projects which will be consented separately. It has been designed to be expandable, low-cost, and low risk through the repurposing of existing assets as far as possible.
The first of these projects is the HyNet Hydrogen Production Plant (the Proposed Development) for which Essar Oil (UK) Limited has submitted a hybrid planning application to Cheshire West and Chester Council to construct and operate the plant in two phases. The hybrid planning application seeks full planning permission for the majority of Phase 1 plant components and outline planning permission for Phase 2 and some of the Phase 1 plant components
