Essar Energy Transition ne northwest England ke Stanlow refinery mein 2025 ke dauran domestic fuel sales mein record-breaking saal announce kiya. Ye performance Essar dwara facility acquire karne ke baad se sabse strong results hain, jo United Kingdom ki energy security strategy mein company ke crucial role ko reinforce karta hai.
Operational Throughput aur Market Growth
Operational throughput refinery mein 8% year-on-year badha, jisme Stanlow gantry se dispatch volumes all-time highs ke kareeb pahunch gaye. Is growth ka reason refined products ki strong UK demand ko mana gaya, saath hi ek expansive pan-UK supply strategy jisse company ne key sectors mein market share badhaya. Dispatch volumes ne major infrastructure transition period ki complexities ko successfully navigate kiya.
Retail aur Aviation mein Expansion
Retail aur aviation fuel businesses dono mein substantial gains dekhe gaye. Essar ne apne branded retail forecourt network ko 58 sites tak expand kiya, ab desh bhar mein 100 se zyada dealer-owned forecourts ko fuel supply kar rahe hain, jisme December price-reduction campaign ka support mila. Aviation sector mein, company ne apna reach broaden kiya, 10 major UK airports par direct fuel supply operations establish kiye.
Investment aur Decarbonisation Efforts
Ek significant refinery turnaround, jo ek broader $350 million investment program ka part tha, saal ke dauran complete kiya gaya. Is operation ne throughput capacity ko approximately 8% enhance kiya aur UK ka pehla hydrogen-ready furnace install kiya, jo site ke decarbonisation pathway ko advance karta hai. Kingsbury, Northampton, Grangemouth, Oikos, aur Grays mein strategic distribution hubs ne fuel supply resilience ensure karne mein important role nibhaya, jisse urgent demand ko rapid response mila, khaskar 2025 mein do doosre UK refineries ke band hone ke baad.
Policy Support ki Maang
Essar Energy Transition ne competitive domestic refining industry ke importance par zor diya. Company ne UK ke Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) mein refining sector ko include karne ki appeal dobara ki. Unka kehna hai ki ye measure high-carbon fuel imports ke economic impact se protect karne aur domestic producers ke liye level playing field ensure karne ke liye vital hai.
Deepak Maheshwari, CEO of EET Fuels, ne challenging transition year mein strong execution ko highlight kiya. "Ye record-breaking year humare poore team ke hard work aur dedication ka saboot hai," unhone kaha. Unhone Essar ke Stanlow ke long-term, sustainable future mein invest karne ke commitment ko reaffirmed kiya, aur UK economy ke liye iski continuing importance ko note kiya.
