The Phillips 66 Limited Humber Refinery is advancing a differentiated, innovative, sustainable business platform with a unique product portfolio that supports the energy transition and benefits the local economy.
Today, the refinery produces traditional and lower carbon road fuels and is the UK’s only refinery to supply sustainable aviation fuel at scale. Additionally, the refinery is Europe’s largest producer of speciality graphite coke, a critical mineral used in lithium-ion batteries and in electrodes for recycling steel in electric arc furnaces.
As part of plans to lower operational emissions, the refinery is also exploring hydrogen refuelling and carbon capture. We are proud to be part of Humber Zero, a project crucial to decarbonising the Humber region for a net zero future. As part of this initiative, we plan to retrofit carbon capture technology at our Humber Refinery to reduce operational emissions. Together with VPI’s Combined Heat and Power Plant, we aim to capture up to 3.8 million tonnes of CO2 annually once operational.
Our refinery is strategically located close to the planned Viking CCS CO2 pipeline, which will transport captured carbon emissions from the Humber region to depleted gas fields in the North Sea for storage. Led by Harbour Energy, Viking CCS has been awarded Track 2 status as part of the UK government’s CCS cluster sequencing process. In collaboration with VPI, we aim to have the first two carbon capture plants connected to this pipeline to transport industrial carbon emissions for permanent storage.
