The plant will be delivered by specialist Chinook Hydrogen.
The investment represents the first stage of a £1bn national hydrogen corridor, comprising multiple green hydrogen production sites across the UK road network for decarbonisation of road transport.
It will also include a 5 tonne-per-day hydrogen-from-waste
Dr Rifat Chalabi, Executive Chairman, Chinook Hydrogen, said: “By converting non-recyclable waste into clean hydrogen, we tackle the twin challenges of waste and decarbonisation in one stroke. Thames Freeport provides the ideal launchpad for this scalable solution to power sustainable industrial growth across the UK.”
The plant is expected to be operational by 2028, forming the first node of a national hydrogen network for HGV refuelling and other industrial uses.
