Plans for green energy terminal opened up for public consultation

Members of the public have been invited to share their views on a proposed new Immingham Green Energy Terminal (IGET) located on the eastern side of the Port of Immingham.

Associated British Ports (ABP) wants to construct, operate and maintain the new green energy terminal.

The planned development also includes construction and operation of a hydrogen production facility by Air Products.

If it wins consent there would be a new jetty with up to two berths and associated infrastructure to be used for the import and export of bulk liquids.

Air Products will construct and operate the green hydrogen production facility as part of the project.

ABP says it intends to submit a Development Consent Order application to the Secretary of State via the Planning Inspectorate in summer 2023.

These proposals would create a brand-new hydrogen production facility in the heart of the Humber’s energy estuary.

IGET would contribute to the Humber 2030 Vision, where the Humber Energy Board is working to decarbonise the Humber and delivering clean energy for the future.

Formal Statutory Consultation with the local community will runs from 9 January 2023 till the end of 20 February 2023, with in-person consultation sessions taking place throughout the consultation period at the Immingham Civic Centre, Pelham Road.
