The Immingham Green Energy Terminal (IGET), a proposed multi-user liquid bulk green energy terminal located in the Port of Immingham, has received development consent from the UK’s Secretary of State for Transport, marking “a big milestone” for the country’s energy transition.
Led by Associated British Ports (ABP), the project envisions a new liquid bulk import terminal and associated processing facility for delivering a green hydrogen production facility. The first customer of the hydrogen facility would be Air Products importing green ammonia from its production locations around the world.
Imported ammonia would 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.

IGET is also an enabler of the Viking carbon capture and storage (CCS) cluster .
ABP submitted the application to the Planning Inspectorate in September 2023 and received development consent on February 6, 2025.
Henrik Lundgaard Pedersen , Chief Executive Officer at Associated British Ports, said: “Today marks a big milestone in the UK’s energy transition journey and we are delighted that the Immingham Green Energy Terminal (IGET) project has been given the green light to progress to the next stage. We look forward to delivering first-class clean energy-enabling infrastructure for our customers to help their businesses grow.”
Suzanne Lowe , Air Products Vice President and General Manager UK, Ireland, Israel, Italy, commented: “We are pleased that the Immingham Green Energy Terminal has been granted Development Consent Order by the Secretary of State. Our renewable hydrogen facility would produce up to 300MW of green hydrogen and create 1,400 jobs, and £4.6 billion in economic value in the Humber estuary. We look forward to continuing our constructive dialogue with the UK government regarding policy support required to help us make a final investment decision.”
Construction of the project is expected to commence in the coming months.
