The world’s largest hydrogen producer has abandoned plans to build a £2bn green energy factory in Britain, dealing a blow to the Government’s bid to attract foreign investment.
US-based Air Products has pulled the proposed green hydrogen project in Humberside over claims of government foot-dragging, as bosses attacked a “lack of commitment” by ministers.
Air Products first announced details of the proposed plant in Immingham three years ago, which was set to convert imported ammonia into green hydrogen and employ around 3,000 people.
At the time, it said it was in “positive talks” with ministers and officials, as it vowed to be “an important contributor to the Government’s plans to make the UK a global leader in low-carbon hydrogen”.
However, in a letter seen by The Times to Martin Vickers, Tory MP for Immingham, Air Products revealed it was walking away from the project in protest at a lack of ministerial support.
