A glimpse of an ever-greener future for Port of Immingham has been given as it prepares to welcome hydrogen production at scale on the Humber.
ABP has become the first UK operator to trial quayside machinery powered by the clean fuel, ahead of a public consultation into a huge plan to import ammonia, produce hydrogen and supply transport and heavy industry from the South Humber Bank location. CO2 imports could also be welcomed - feeding into the huge storage plans in the region - with a £4.6 billion economic benefit eyed.
Working with Air Products, the world leading industrial gas producer with whom it is looking to develop at the eastern edge of the estate, it has launched the pilot at Immingham Container Terminal, having received funding through Innovate UK’s Hydrogen Innovation Initiative. It followed an initial feasibility study as part of the Department for Transport’s Clean Maritime Demonstration Competition.
