Air Products and Associated British Ports (ABP) are joining forces to bring the first large scale, green hydrogen production facility to the UK.
The planned site at the Port of Immingham will undergo a transformation including a new jetty to service the handling of liquid bulk products required in the production of hydrogen such as green ammonia, and liquified CO2 from carbon, capture and storage projects ready for sequestration in the North Sea.

The Port of Immingham is to be the site of a new green hydrogen production facility.
The scheme follows on from an existing Air Products’ plan to develop the UK’s largest blue hydrogen facility in Immingham, making the Humber a major location for low carbon energy production, businesses and jobs.
“ABP and the Humber are at the epicentre of the decarbonisation agenda and we are delighted to work with Air Products on this project, which will help deliver the UK’s legal obligation to be net zero by 2050,” said ABP’s chief executive, Henrik L. Pedersen.
“We are making significant investments to support a range of renewable energy generation projects, including the expansion of Green Port Hull and the transformation of Port Talbot to help deliver the UK’s ambition for floating offshore wind in the Celtic Sea.”
Benefits to the UK
The facility will eliminate up 580,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions each year, the equivalent of taking 20,000 diesel HGVs off UK roads, as well as reducing nitrous oxide and particulate emissions.
The project will also bring up to £4 billion in growth and financial benefits to the region, providing 1,400 direct jobs and approximately 1,600 indirect jobs for supply chains and local businesses.
