East Riding of Yorkshire Council has given approval to build the £250m green hydrogen facility, a major boost to the UK’s clean energy portfolio.
The move will position the Humber region as a leading hydrogen hub and help to decarbonise the UK’s leading industrial emitter of CO2.
Meld Energy’s CEO Chris Smith commented: “Meld Energy’s ambitious plans for the Humber are poised to accelerate decarbonisation efforts in the region.
“This outline planning approval is an important milestone for the development of our project, which is the first of several that we will be bringing forward in the Humber and across the UK.
“Our Saltend Chemicals Park project will enable decarbonisation for our customers in the park and set the baseline for accelerating and reducing the cost of the energy transition.
“We couldn’t be more excited with this news and look forward to being able to share more in the coming weeks.”
