Chemicals giant wants to produce zero-carbon electricity to power planned hydrogen systems at Grangemouth refinery
Ineos, the chemicals company owned by the billionaire Sir Jim Ratcliffe, is in talks with Rolls-Royce to build a nuclear power station to provide zero-carbon energy to the Grangemouth refinery in Scotland.
A deal between Ineos, one of the UK’s biggest privately owned companies, and FTSE 100 engineer Rolls-Royce could help Ineos with the tricky task of decarbonising the giant refinery, while also giving Rolls-Royce an early customer for a new technology it hopes will transform its prospects.
