Companies vie for funding to decarbonise UK port
Germany s Uniper and Siemens Energy, Japan s Toyoto Tsusho and Associated British Ports (ABP) have applied for state funding to decarbonise the port of Immingham on England s east coast using hydrogen, the companies announced on June 2.
The group has undertaken a study into how low-carbon fuels like green hydrogen can decarbonise difficult-to-abate sectors like maritime and cargo handling at ports. The ABP-owned Immingham port is the UK s largest by tonnage, handling 54mn metric tons/year of cargo, and is situated in the Humber industrial cluster, due to be decarbonised in the coming years under the Zero Carbon Humber initiative.
