U.S. company Air Products abandons green hydrogen project in Immingham, UK
The UK is set to miss out on a significant green hydrogen project, following the cancellation of the Immingham Green Energy Terminal. This development comes after Air Products, a global leader in the production of hydrogen, decided to abandon plans for a green hydrogen import and production project in the Port of Immingham.
Earlier this year, the UK Department for Transport had approved the plans for the Immingham Green Energy Terminal, a collaboration with Associated British Ports (ABP). The project was expected to create 1,400 jobs and generate over £4.5bn in economic value in the Humber region.
The terminal was intended to import green hydrogen from Air Products' 2.2GW Neom project and produce its own volumes from a 300MW plant. However, due to the cancellation of the Immingham Green Energy Terminal, neither of these developments will now take place.
Air Products has cited a 'lack of commitment' by ministers as the reason for the project's cancellation. The name of the minister who allegedly did not offer sufficient support to Air Products for the Immingham Green Energy Terminal project is not explicitly mentioned in the available search results.
The cancellation of the project may impact the expected 1,400 jobs in the Humber region, as well as the £4.5bn in economic value that was projected for the region. It may also affect the UK's plans for green hydrogen production and use, a crucial component of the country's strategy to reduce carbon emissions and transition to a greener energy future.
While the cancellation of the Immingham Green Energy Terminal leaves the UK without a significant green hydrogen project in the Port of Immingham, the wider industry continues to evolve.
