The application for the Immingham Green Energy Terminal (IGET) at the UK's Port of Immingham has been granted development consent by the UK Secretary of State for Transport.
The IGET 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 infrastructure comprises 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 (ABP) on September 21, 2023 and accepted for examination on October 19, 2023.
Following an examination during which the public, statutory consultees and interested parties were given the opportunity to give evidence to the Examining Authority, recommendations were made to the Secretary of State on November 6, 2024.
The Examining Authority listened and gave full consideration to all local views and the evidence gathered during the examination before making its recommendation to the Secretary of State.
The decision, the recommendation made by the Examining Authority to the Secretary of State for Transport and the evidence considered by the Examining Authority in reaching its recommendation are publicly available on the project pages of the National Infrastructure Planning website.
