Partnering with ABP on renewable hydrogen production
August 30, 2022
Air Products and Associated British Ports announce their intention to partner in bringing the first large scale, green hydrogen production facility to the UK. The companies will work together to bring the new green hydrogen facility to the Port of Immingham.
The facility would import green ammonia from production locations operated by Air Products and its partners around the world. This would be used to produce green hydrogen, which would decarbonise hard-to-abate sectors such as transport and industry.
Immingham sits within the UK’s largest industrial cluster and in close proximity to proposed offshore transport and storage networks for CO₂. 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.
