EET (Essar Energy Transition) Fuels, which owns the Stanlow refinery in the UK, said on Thursday that it has successfully secured $650 million in receivable financing and trade credit financing facilities in this quarter.

This demonstrates market confidence in the company’s decarbonisation strategy. EET Fuels is setting a new global benchmark for industrial decarbonisation, becoming the first low carbon process refinery as it will reduce emissions by 95 per cent by the close of the decade. Industrial carbon capture and use of blue hydrogen are at the heart of the company’s strategy, EET Fuels said.

The facilities secured to support this strategy include new receivable facility with ABN AMRO Bank for $150 million, extending and upsizing HCOB and UMTB facility to $200 million for receivable financing, and a trade credit financing for $300 million with an international oil company,” it added.

Satish Vasooja, Chief Financial Officer at EET Fuels, said: “This is an excellent outcome for EET Fuels. Knowing our decarbonisation strategy has the backing of major financing partners, we can continue to develop and invest in our business with confidence.”

EET Fuels’ continuing operational improvement and delivery of its energy transition strategy, including the creation of a major UK energy transition hub at Stanlow, is central to these new relationships.

The new facilities widen EET Fuels’ strategic and financing partnerships including with major European banks and established trading partners. This enables the Company to also develop customer offerings, growing relationships and sales volumes. The new financing facilities further strengthen EET Fuels’ balance sheet.
