1. Boolean Searches :

i. AND - Shows results where both terms on either side of the 'AND' operator are present. 'AND' must be in upper case. For example search term - delhi AND metro result - It will return records in which 'delhi' as well as 'metro' both are present.

ii. OR - Shows results where either term (or both terms) is present. 'OR' must be in upper case. For example search term - delhi OR metro result - It will return records in which either 'delhi' or 'metro' or both are present

2. Proximity Searches

A proximity search looks for terms that are within a specific distance from one another. For example, search term - 'delhi metro'~10 result - It will search for records where 'delhi' and 'metro' are found within 10 words of each other

3. Phrase searches

Essar Group to infuse GBP 750 million to set up hydrogen project in UK

Essar Group in partnership with clean energy specialist Progressive Energy will invest GBP 750 million to build the UK's biggest low carbon hydrogen production hub at Stanlow refinery in Ellesmere Port, Cheshire.

The investment in two plants will be part of the HyNet scheme, a project to supply low carbon hydrogen to industrial sites and homes in north-west England.

The joint venture (JV) will manufacture hydrogen at the refinery for use across the HyNet region.

The plants will be built next to Essar's Stanlow refinery in north-west England. Natural gas and fuel gases from the refinery will be converted into low carbon hydrogen, with carbon dioxide captured and stored in depleted undersea gas fields 60 km offshore in Liverpool Bay.

The refinery will be converted to burn hydrogen instead of natural gas. The project will provide Essar Oil UK with low carbon hydrogen to decarbonise its own energy demand in addition to creating a hydrogen economy across north-west England and north-east Wales.

The first plant should open in 2025 while the second is expected in 2027.

The hydrogen production hub will deliver clean energy to the industry in the HyNet 'low carbon cluster', as well as to fuel buses, trains and heavy goods vehicles to heat homes and generate electricity when the sun is not shining or the wind blowing.

The UK's first low carbon hydrogen hub will initially produce three TWh of low carbon hydrogen each year from 2025.

This will be quickly followed by a facility twice this size giving a total capacity of over nine TWh of hydrogen per annum, equivalent to the energy used for heating across the whole of Liverpool.

The agreement between Essar Group and Progressive Energy provides the basis to take the project through final development and into construction and operation. The project will be jointly delivered by the two companies.
