In the UK, green hydrogen developer Meld Energy has received approval from the East Riding of Yorkshire Council to construct 100 megawatt green hydrogen production facility at Saltend in Hull.
Meld Energy is now preparing to build the green hydrogen production facility at Saltend Chemicals Park, a move that will create the capacity to meet up to 30% of the park’s existing hydrogen demand. This significant increase in green hydrogen production will lead to a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions by 125,000 tons.
Meld Energy’s CEO Chris Smith, said: “Meld Energy’s ambitious plans for the Humber are poised to accelerate decarbonization 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 decarbonization for our customers on the park and sets 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.”
