Immingham Renewable Hydrogen Facility
At the heart of a cleaner energy future
Air Products plans to build and operate a world-scale renewable hydrogen facility in Immingham, which would supply up to 76,000 tonnes of renewable hydrogen per year.
Unlocking energy transition opportunities in the Humber
The drive to net zero matters to us all. Reducing carbon emissions is an important step towards tackling the climate crisis, ensuring cleaner air in our towns and cities, and bringing significant investment and jobs to the UK.
The UK has committed to being net zero by 2050 and, with industrial CO₂ emissions accounting for as much as 11 gigatonnes or 30% of global greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), the Humber sits at the heart of these plans. To successfully transition to net zero, we will need a secure and diverse energy mix, and a range of technologies. UK Government is supporting hydrogen as part of this mix.
Hydrogen is here to stay, and there is an exciting opportunity to bring the benefits of our investment to the region. Air Products, the world’s largest hydrogen supplier, has been operating in the Humber for over four decades, producing and distributing hydrogen as a process gas from our facilities in Hull.
We’re committed to generating a cleaner energy future for people here in the Humber, across the UK and further afield, and have put forward plans for Immingham that have the potential to put the Humber at the centre of low-carbon energy production.
A proven track record
producing, distributing and supplying hydrogen where it is needed around the world. We are using our experience as the world's leading hydrogen supplier to scale the supply of clean hydrogen, which can be used to decarbonise hard-to-abate industry and transportation. Our products and technologies will help drive industrial decarbonisation and zero-emissions transportation in the UK and around the world.

"The benefits of hydrogen investment are social, environmental, and economic. Through the availability of hydrogen, good secure jobs will be created and retained across a variety of sectors: from heavy industry to transport. Boosting local economies and skills is often overlooked when we talk about the energy transition, but this is such an important component of the move towards cleaner energy and it’s a reason for governments and investors to support projects like Immingham. We want to see the green hydrogen facility in Immingham become a reality and be recognised for what it is – an example of how we can deliver the change the world urgently needs, generate a cleaner, greener future, and deliver real and tangible local benefits too."
Frédéric Séné, Commercial Director, Green Hydrogen Facility-UK
"I’m hugely excited by the potential for hydrogen to lead the way in the transition to a low carbon world. The availability of reliable green hydrogen will allow the UK to future-proof its existing heavy industries. Glass, steel, and ceramics manufacturers are already working with us to trial hydrogen technologies for their furnaces and kilns, while refineries also have the potential to switch to green hydrogen, reducing emissions from petroleum products. The proposed green hydrogen production facility in Immingham will also support the transition to net-zero for heavy-duty transport sectors such as maritime, aviation, trucks, and buses. We’re proud to be employing our expertise, safety knowledge, and technology to support this process – and there’s so much scope ahead."
