The project advances the Government’s Industrial Strategy and marks an important step toward net-zero, clean industrial growth.
The investment represents the first stage of a £1bn national hydrogen corridor, comprising multiple green hydrogen production sites across the UK road network for decarbonisation of road transport. This initiative will also include a 5 tonne-per-day hydrogen-from-waste development in Doncaster comprising hydrogen vehicle refuelling and off-grid hydrogen fuelled EV ultra-fast superchargers for cars, LGVs and HGVs.
Delivered by Chinook Hydrogen, a pioneer in advanced waste-to-hydrogen technology that produces carbon negative hydrogen and backed by Middle Eastern investment, the Tilbury plant will:
- Produce up to 12 tonnes per day of hydrogen that meets the UK Low-Carbon Hydrogen Standard, using residual waste otherwise destined for landfill, for vehicle decarbonisation;
- Removal of more than 50,000 tonnes of CO2 per year.
- Create more than 150 skilled jobs in engineering, operations, logistics and cleantech;
- Eliminate landfill methane and cut supply-chain emissions through Chinook’s patented modular gasification process.
