Driving Clean Industry Growth: The Impact of Federal Clean Energy Incentives on US Manufacturing
Key Ideas
  • Federal tax credits have stimulated billions in investments, creating over 100,000 new manufacturing jobs since 2022.
  • Federal support for energy solutions is driving a clean energy transformation in industries such as chemicals, cement, iron, and steel.
  • Key credits like the 45V for hydrogen production and 45X for manufacturing are reducing costs, boosting competitiveness, and creating job opportunities.
  • The 'High Potential Scenario' analysis indicates significant future federal investments in clean industrial activities across states like Texas, Georgia, and California.
The federal government's clean energy incentives have successfully reshored industries, spurred private investment, and boosted job creation in the US manufacturing sector. Tax credits have catalyzed clean growth in hard-to-abate industries such as chemicals, cement, and steel, making cleaner technologies cost-competitive. Billions of dollars have been invested in facilities producing clean fuels and energy components since 2022, leading to over 100,000 new manufacturing jobs. States like South Carolina, North Carolina, and Michigan have witnessed significant benefits from this manufacturing boom. Key credits like the 45V for clean hydrogen production and 45X for advanced manufacturing are derisking investments and enhancing competitiveness. The 'High Potential Scenario' analysis projects substantial federal investments in clean industrial activities by 2030, with states like Texas, Georgia, and California set to receive significant funding. The future holds promise for sectors like aviation fuel production, battery manufacturing, hydrogen production, and clean power manufacturing, with tax credits driving growth and sustainability.
