Employer

EET Fuels

EET Fuels is a leading player in the decarbonisation of the UK economy through its delivery of an energy transition hub at Stanlow in the heart of the North West near Liverpool, Chester and Manchester. Stanlow is a strategic refinery producing vital fuels for UK transportation – around 16% of road fuels are produced here. The process of making refined products is carbon intensive, and, like most refineries, Stanlow is therefore a substantial emitter of CO2. We will continue manufacturing these vital, hard-to-abate fuels to customers but are significantly reducing the CO2 emissions associated with them.
