Immingham Green Energy Terminal is today being put to the public as statutory consultation begins, with first impressions of what it could look like released.
The huge plan, potentially creating more than 1,000 jobs and a £4 billion boost to the UK economy, would see ammonia imported for port-centric hydrogen production, with carbon also shipped in for storage. Located on the eastern wing of Port of Immingham, the proposed development includes a new jetty with up to two berths and the infrastructure to handle bulk liquids as well as two substantial production sites - with the scale now visualised.
Associated British Ports is working with the global market leader in hydrogen production, Air Products, who would construct and operate the significant facility, straddling the eastern entrance to the port, on ABP land. First revealed last summer, imported carbon would feed into the Viking CCS proposal, linking the power and refining cluster beside the port with depleted oil and gas caverns beneath the North Sea, via the former Theddlethorpe terminal on the Lincolnshire coast.
