The Immingham Green Energy Terminal (IGET), a project to build a terminal for the transshipment of liquid cargo, including ammonia and its conversion into green hydrogen, proposed for construction in Immingham has received development consent from the UK’s Secretary of State for Transport.
The letter released by the UK’s Secretary of State for Transport states, in particular:
«The Development Consent Order (“the Order”) would grant development consent for a multi-user liquid bulk green energy terminal (“IGET”) located on the eastern side of the Port of Immingham, including the construction of harbour facilities
and the erection of a Hydrogen Production Facility (“HPF”).
The Applicant states that the IGET would be capable of handling 292 vessels per annum, with 12 of those anticipated to be for the delivery of ammonia [ER 1.3.9]. Vessels are intended to moor
at IGET and offload liquid bulks via pipelines and the landside infrastructure. The HPF would then be in use to convert the ammonia into green hydrogen.
The elements comprising the scheme (collectively referred to as “the Proposed Development”), in relation to the green energy terminal are:
• a jetty, consisting of an approach trestle, approximately 1.2 kilometres in length, leading to a single berth including a loading platform, topside infrastructure, berthing and mooring dolphins with link walkways, and related landside infrastructure including jetty access ramps;
• topside infrastructure on the jetty for the handling of liquid bulks, including loading arms and pipelines; and
• an access road to the jetty from Laporte Road.
The remainder of the Proposed Development infrastructure associated with the HPF includes:
• two operational sites supporting hydrogen production facilities (referred to as the East Site and West Site);
• pipes and cables between the jetty and the East Site, between the East and West Sites and between process equipment and buildings on both Sites;
• a large ammonia storage tank (on the East Site);
• hydrogen production units that convert ammonia to produce green hydrogen(on both East and West Sites);
• hydrogen liquefier units (on West Site) to liquify the hydrogen for temporary storage (on the West Site);
• loading bays (on the West Site) to fill road tankers with liquified hydrogen which would then be distributed to hydrogen filling stations located throughout the UK;
• a hydrogen refuelling station and bulk hydrogen trailer filling station (on the West Site);
• ancillary buildings and works;
• process packages to provide utilities such as nitrogen, steam and cooling water;
• access from the public highway to the two hydrogen production sites;
• temporary construction areas; and
• various works (connections or diversions) to utilities including on highways land.
