Shoreham Port and Getech move forward with five-year commitment to Green Energy Hub partnership
Shoreham Port has announced the progression of their partnership with H2 Green, a Getech Group company, on the development of the Green Energy Hub at Shoreham Port. Following the announcement of the partnership in November 2021, the Port has confirmed that the collaboration has been extended for a further five years, until 2027.
The exclusive partnership includes the development of all port-based hydrogen, ammonia and new onshore wind and solar generation capacity at Shoreham Port. This five-year period demonstrates the joint commitment to the progression of the project through to the planned first hydrogen production and beyond.
Dr Jonathan Copus, Getech CEO commented “We are pleased by the progress made by Getech working in close collaboration with Shoreham Port. The updated agreement signed today with significantly extended exclusivity period is a clear statement of intent of the partnership to push forward to develop green hydrogen at the port, contributing to decarbonisation across the Southeast of England.”
Tom Willis, CEO of the Shoreham Port said “We are delighted to be continuing the partnership with H2 Green to develop the Shoreham Port Green Energy Hub. As a Trust Port we have been operating for the benefit of the community for 260 years, this pioneering project has the potential to make a significant contribution to decarbonising the region, creating more good quality local jobs, attracting investment, and improving air quality for everyone.”
The H2 Green team will join Shoreham Port at Sustainability Week to share the ambitions of the Green Energy Hub project later this month. Taking place from Thursday 29th September – Saturday 1st October, Sustainability Week at Shoreham Port is a series of free events, featuring talks with industry experts, updates on regional conservation initiatives and opportunities to see the Port in action.
