Port of Immingham looks set to host the first large scale green hydrogen production facility in the UK.
ABP and Air Products have announced their intention to partner on the huge project, that would see hundreds of millions of pounds invested, while supporting 1,400 jobs. The plan is for green ammonia to be imported as a feedstock from locations operated around the world by the US giant, decarbonising hard-to-abate sectors such as transport and industry - subject to policy and market conditions.
It is in addition to a major gas-based ‘blue’ hydrogen production proposal revealed last month between Air Products and VPI Immingham - Humber Hydrogen Hub - just off the port estate, and is forecast to bring a £3.8 billion economic boost to the region.
