The Bay City Council has recently voted to approve a letter of support urging Congressman Troy Nehls and other state representatives to advocate for the continuation of the Section 45V hydrogen production tax credit. This tax credit plays a vital role in supporting Bay City's increasing involvement in the clean energy economy. At the core of this decision is the $6 billion HIF Matagorda E-Fuels Facility, a significant project announced by HIF USA in April 2022. The approval of the letter of support signifies the city's commitment to advancing sustainable energy initiatives and fostering economic growth through clean technologies. Local officials are actively seeking support from key political figures to ensure the longevity of the tax credit, emphasizing the importance of this incentive in driving innovation and investment in Bay City. By standing behind this initiative, Bay City aims to solidify its position in the evolving energy landscape, contributing to efforts aimed at combating climate change and promoting a greener future for the community and beyond.
