Green Hydrogen Production Facility Approved at Port of Immingham in UK
Key Ideas
- Approval granted for Immingham Green Energy Terminal at Port of Immingham in England to house a green hydrogen production facility.
- Project involves importing ammonia to produce green hydrogen for UK filling stations, with expected generation of 300 MW.
- Developed in collaboration with Associated British Ports and Air Products, utilizing ammonia sourced from Air Products' Saudi Arabian facilities.
- Construction of the facility, including key infrastructure like a new jetty and processing facilities, set to commence in the upcoming months.
The UK's Secretary of State for Transport has approved the construction of the Immingham Green Energy Terminal at the Port of Immingham in England. This terminal will house a new liquid bulk import facility and processing unit dedicated to green hydrogen production. The project aims to utilize imported ammonia to produce green hydrogen, which will then be distributed to filling stations across the UK. The facility, expected to generate 300 MW of hydrogen, is a collaborative effort between Associated British Ports (ABP) and Air Products, sourcing ammonia from Air Products' facilities in Saudi Arabia. The project, which underwent a thorough review process involving public and private consultations, is scheduled to begin construction in the near future. While specific start and completion dates have not been announced yet, the development marks a significant step towards sustainable energy production and distribution in the UK.
