The US Treasury has released final rules on clean hydrogen production, providing guidance for producers to qualify for up to $3/kg in tax credits. This has led to a surge in nuclear energy stocks as companies now have incentives to invest in hydrogen projects. The tax credit, part of the Inflation Reduction Act, supports clean hydrogen production based on carbon emissions levels, offering significant benefits to nuclear power and natural gas producers. The goal is to reduce production costs and stimulate the growth of clean hydrogen infrastructure. Noteworthy companies like Plug Power and Bloom Energy have experienced stock surges following the announcement, with Plug Power focusing on green hydrogen supply chain development and receiving substantial loans for clean hydrogen initiatives. Despite this progress, challenges in meeting hydrogen supply demand persist. The inclusion of nuclear power providers in the tax credit eligibility has had a positive impact on the industry, further driving growth and investment in clean hydrogen projects.
