The Internal Revenue Code's Section 45V introduced a clean hydrogen production credit (CHPC) for each kilogram of clean hydrogen produced by qualified facilities. After industry opposition to the initial proposed regulations, the IRS and Treasury released final regulations that maintained the general framework but incorporated significant modifications based on feedback. The regulations emphasize the use of energy attribute certificates (EACs) to track emissions associated with hydrogen production, with additional flexibility for compliance with three key pillars: incrementality, temporal matching, and deliverability. Notably, the incrementality requirement now includes new pathways such as sourcing electricity from qualifying nuclear reactors, facilities with carbon capture technology, and states with specific decarbonization standards. These changes aim to support and incentivize clean hydrogen production by providing a framework for tax credits linked to greenhouse gas emissions reductions and adherence to clean energy standards. The collaboration between regulatory bodies, industry stakeholders, and agencies like the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency demonstrates a commitment to fostering a cleaner energy future through regulatory innovation and tax incentives.
