The recent approval of the Development Consent Order (DCO) for the Immingham Green Energy Terminal (IGET) represents a significant milestone for the Humber region and the UK’s green energy ambitions. As this transformative project moves forward, it will create hundreds of jobs during construction and beyond, reinforcing the area’s critical role in the energy transition.
What is the Immingham Green Energy Terminal?
The Immingham Green Energy Terminal (IGET) is a pioneering infrastructure project designed to support the UK’s shift towards cleaner energy. Led by Associated British Ports (ABP), this terminal will become a vital hub for the import, storage, and distribution of green energy resources, including hydrogen and carbon capture technologies.
A cornerstone of the project is its partnership with Air Products to develop a large-scale green hydrogen production facility capable of generating up to 300MW of green hydrogen. This initiative is crucial for decarbonising hard-to-transition industries such as heavy transport and manufacturing. Additionally, IGET will be a key enabler of the Viking CCS Cluster, facilitating the transportation and permanent storage of captured carbon emissions, a vital step in reducing the UK’s overall carbon footprint.
By providing the necessary infrastructure for importing liquified CO₂ cargoes from across the UK and Europe, IGET will play a central role in advancing the country’s low-carbon economy. The project is expected to bring substantial economic benefits, creating 1,400 jobs and injecting £4.6 billion into the Humber region. Once operational, it will solidify the Port of Immingham’s position as a leader in the UK’s decarbonisation efforts.
Project Timeline
Construction of IGET is scheduled to commence in mid-2025, with completion expected by 2027. The first phase will focus on developing key infrastructure, including import and storage facilities, followed by the commissioning of green hydrogen production capabilities. This timeline ensures alignment with the UK’s broader decarbonisation strategy and the increasing demand for sustainable energy solutions.
