UK's Immingham Green Energy Terminal: Paving the Way for Clean Energy Future
Key Ideas
  • ABP's Immingham Green Energy Terminal project in the UK, approved by Transport Secretary, aims to create a large-scale green hydrogen production facility to decarbonize industry and transport.
  • The project, led by Air Products, is set to directly support 130 jobs and create over 1,100 jobs during construction, with potential for 1,400 jobs and £4.6 billion economic value.
  • The terminal's approval marks a significant step in the UK's energy transition journey, positioning the region at the forefront of the decarbonization agenda and strengthening the Humber's role as the UK's energy estuary.
  • ABP's upcoming projects in the Humber area, including the Immingham freight terminal, aim to support automotive and energy transition customers, Freeport investment, and contribute to the region's economic growth.
The Immingham Green Energy Terminal (IGET) project in the UK has received planning consent, marking a significant milestone in the country's energy transition efforts. The project includes the development of a new liquid bulk import terminal with a 1.1km long jetty and ammonia storage facilities, all intended to support a green hydrogen production facility to be operated by Air Products. ABP's CEO Henrik Lundgaard Pedersen praised the approval as a crucial step in the energy transition journey, emphasizing the delivery of clean energy-enabling infrastructure. The terminal, once operational, is expected to play a key role in Air Products' green hydrogen production plans, aiding in the decarbonization of challenging sectors such as industry and transport. Additionally, the terminal's approval is seen as a boost to the Port of Immingham's position in the UK's decarbonization agenda and as an enabler for the wider regional Viking carbon capture and storage cluster. The project is projected to directly create over 130 jobs upon completion, with more than 1,100 jobs during the construction phase. Furthermore, Air Products' renewable hydrogen facility could potentially generate up to 1,400 jobs and contribute £4.6 billion in economic value to the Humber estuary region. ABP's Humber 2025 Infrastructure Procurement Day aims to outline upcoming projects in the Humber area, with a focus on supporting automotive and energy transition customers, Freeport investment, and ABP operations. The company's initiatives reflect a commitment to sustainable growth and job creation in the region, with a strong emphasis on environmental and economic benefits.
