UK's Yorkshire and Humber Region to Drive Clean Energy Job Creation and Projects by 2030
The UK aims to become a 'clean energy superpower' by creating 400,000 jobs by 2030, with the Yorkshire and Humber region playing a crucial role. Key initiatives include the Immingham Green Energy Terminal, which will produce 300 MW of green hydrogen and create 1,400 jobs, alongside significant investments in offshore wind and solar energy projects. Major companies, including Siemens Gamesa and Rolls-Royce-SMR, are set to enhance the region's capacity in renewable energy and hydrogen production.

Ed Miliband announced plans for the UK to become a 'clean energy superpower,' aiming to create 400,000 jobs by 2030. The Yorkshire and Humber region is pivotal, attracting £700m in private investment in 2024 and hosting major companies like Siemens Gamesa, which installed over 2 GW of offshore wind capacity.
Key projects include the Immingham Green Energy Terminal by Associated British Ports, set to produce 300 MW of green hydrogen and create 1,400 jobs. Uniper's proposed electrolytic hydrogen facility in Killingholme aims for 120 MW production.
A hydrogen facility in Bradford will provide access to hydrogen for heavy vehicle operators by 2027. East Yorkshire's solar farm, approved to power 18,000 homes, will save 10,240 tonnes of CO2 annually.
Rolls-Royce-SMR plans a facility in South Yorkshire for small modular reactors. The Humber aims for 35% of the UK's offshore wind capacity by 2030, supported by RWE Group's operational and developmental projects.
