As one of the UK’s largest low carbon hydrogen production facilities, H2Teesside aims to bring jobs, customers, and investment to Teesside.
Our application for development consent was accepted for Examination by the Planning Inspectorate on 22 April 2024. This means our pre-application consultation and application meets the required standards to proceed to the next stage of the process.
Further information is available on the H2Teesside project page on the Planning Inspectorate’s website here. This page will be updated throughout the process.

One of the changes on which we consulted in September 2024 related to the proposed provision of additional land to facilitate the inclusion of an existing natural gas pipeline within the Order Limits of the DCO Application. We are now consulting the proposed provision of this additional land. Further information, including details on how to make a relevant representation on the proposed provision of additional land, can be found on the project page on the Planning Inspectorate website: https://national-infrastructure-consenting.planninginspectorate.gov.uk/projects/EN070009
This consultation is now closed. We have reviewed all of the responses received and produced a Consultation Statement which summarises the feedback received and how we have taken this in to account. This Consultation Statement has been submitted to the Planning Inspectorate and will be published on the project page for the proposed development at: https://national-infrastructure-consenting.planninginspectorate.gov.uk/projects/EN070009
