The Biden administration is currently focusing on establishing a 'clean' hydrogen industry, crucial for decarbonizing industries like aviation and steel. However, delays in finalizing tax credits and infrastructure funding allocation have impeded progress. Clean hydrogen, produced using low-carbon energy sources, is considered vital for reducing emissions. Challenges include uncertainty over Treasury Department's final tax guidance for clean hydrogen tax credits and the incomplete allocation of $7 billion for hydrogen hubs from the bipartisan infrastructure law. Potential political changes, including a return of the Trump administration, could influence funding for clean hydrogen projects. Debates around assessing the emission levels of clean hydrogen have surfaced, with concerns over potential methane leaks during production. The industry is calling for clear regulations to ensure low-emission hydrogen production. While awaiting finalized tax rules, the industry risks investment setbacks and operational delays. Issues such as methane leaks must be addressed to prevent inadvertent contributions to climate change.
