The Secretary of State for Transport has granted development consent for the Immingham Green Energy Terminal application.
The project comprises a new liquid bulk import terminal and associated processing facility, the purpose of which is to deliver a green hydrogen production facility. Imported ammonia will be stored and processed at the site to create green hydrogen, for onward transport to filling stations throughout the UK.
Key project infrastructures include a new approach trestle, jetty superstructure and topside infrastructure, and land-side processing infrastructure.
The application was submitted to the Planning Inspectorate for consideration by Associated British Ports on 21 September 2023 and accepted for examination on 19 October 2023.
Following an examination during which the public, statutory consultees and interested parties were allowed to give evidence to the Examining Authority, recommendations were made to the Secretary of State on 6 November 2024.
This is the 54th transport application out of 148 applications examined to date and was again completed by the Planning Inspectorate within the statutory timescale laid down in the Planning Act 2008.
