Immingham Green Energy Terminal Approved for Green Hydrogen Production in the UK
Key Ideas
- The Immingham Green Energy Terminal (IGET) at the UK's Port of Immingham has been granted development consent by the UK Secretary of State for Transport.
- The project aims to create green hydrogen by storing and processing imported ammonia on-site for distribution to filling stations across the UK.
- The approval followed a thorough examination process involving public, statutory consultees, and interested parties, with full consideration given to local views and evidence.
- Key infrastructure components include a new liquid bulk import terminal, processing facility, approach trestle, jetty superstructure, topside infrastructure, and land-side processing infrastructure.
The Immingham Green Energy Terminal (IGET) project in the UK has received development consent to establish a facility focused on green hydrogen production. The project, led by Associated British Ports (ABP), will involve the storage and processing of imported ammonia to generate green hydrogen that will be transported to various filling stations throughout the UK. The application for the terminal was submitted in September 2023 and was accepted for examination the following month. After a comprehensive examination process involving input from the public, statutory consultees, and interested parties, recommendations were made to the UK Secretary of State for Transport in November 2024. The decision to approve the project was based on careful consideration of all local views and evidence gathered during the examination. The project infrastructure includes various components such as a liquid bulk import terminal, processing facility, approach trestle, jetty superstructure, and land-side processing infrastructure. The public can access detailed information about the project and the decision-making process on the National Infrastructure Planning website.
