Construction of a £50 million green hydrogen production facility is expected to begin later this year at Milford Haven in Wales, as the UK continues to expand its low-carbon energy infrastructure.
The West Wales Hydrogen project will be developed on land at the Impala Terminal within the Port of Milford Haven, converting part of a former oil refinery site into one of the UK’s early commercial-scale green hydrogen production facilities, Herald Wales reported.
The project is being developed by MorGen Energy, a Zurich-based company established in 2021 to build large-scale green hydrogen projects across Europe.
Developers expect the project to create around 60 jobs during construction and approximately 10 permanent positions once the plant becomes operational. Commissioning is currently scheduled for early 2028.
The hydrogen facility will be built on the former Puma Energy-operated terminal, which previously handled refined petroleum products. The project is intended to repurpose existing industrial infrastructure as Milford Haven transitions from traditional fossil fuel operations to cleaner energy technologies.
Located within the Celtic Freeport, which covers Milford Haven and Port Talbot, the project is expected to support investment in low-carbon industries, renewable energy and advanced manufacturing.
According to MorGen Energy, the plant will utilise the port’s existing storage facilities, energy connections and shipping infrastructure, reducing development costs while supporting the growth of the UK’s hydrogen economy.
Milford Haven, the UK’s largest energy port and home to major liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminals, is increasingly positioning itself as a hub for emerging clean energy projects, including hydrogen production and other low-carbon technologies.
