RE: Seafood, Lincolnshire pyrolysis plant.21 Nov 2025 10:14
A new hydrogen production plant could soon join North Lincolnshire’s growing portfolio of green energy projects, as Centrica Energy Storage has submitted an environmental impact screening request to North Lincolnshire Council for a proposed 10MW facility north of the A18.
The plant would be built on backfilled quarry land adjacent to Melton Ross Quarry, between Barnetby-le-Wold and Kirmington, and would supply clean hydrogen fuel to Singleton Birch’s kiln at the neighbouring quarry - one of the UK’s leading lime suppliers.
Construction is expected to take between four and eight months, and the site will not involve the loss of agricultural land. A short new access road off the A18 will be created, alongside a pipeline linking the hydrogen plant to Singleton Birch’s kiln.
The project has been shortlisted for the Government’s Hydrogen Allocation Round 2 (HAR2) scheme, which provides funding for emerging hydrogen production projects across the UK.
If approved, the facility would add to a growing cluster of hydrogen developments across northern Lincolnshire.
