Up to 400 construction jobs and 100 permanent roles could be created under plans for the UK’s first commercial-scale waste-to-hydrogen facility. The £120m proposal, brought forward by Hydrogen TE (Manston) Ltd, has been submitted as part of a full planning application for a site at Manston, Kent. The development would process around 44,000 tonnes of non-recyclable waste each year, including household waste, commercial plastics, timber and decommissioned wind turbine blades. The facility is expected to produce up to 8000 tonnes of hydrogen annually, supplying low-carbon fuel for industrial use.
