Associated British Ports (ABP) are seeking to construct, operate and maintain the new green energy terminal. The proposed development also includes the construction and operation of a hydrogen production facility by Air Products.

The proposed development includes 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 a green hydrogen production facility as part of the project. ABP intends to submit the DCO application to the Secretary of State via the Planning Inspectorate in summer this year.

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 driving forward change in our local industries, decarbonising the Humber and delivering clean energy for the future.

The development proposals will constitute a Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) as per the Planning Act 2008, and therefore require an application for a Development Consent Order (DCO) to be made to the Secretary of State.
