The Biden administration has made a significant move by announcing that nuclear power plants will be eligible to receive tax credits for producing clean hydrogen. This decision, part of the Inflation Reduction Act aimed at fighting climate change, aims to prevent reactors from retiring and ensure a stable supply of clean energy for hydrogen production. While environmental groups have expressed concerns about diverting clean energy away from the grid, the U.S. Treasury Department has highlighted the benefits of averting nuclear retirements to reduce induced emissions elsewhere on the grid. The final rules also extend the eligibility for tax credits to natural-gas-fired facilities, provided they capture and bury carbon-dioxide emissions, further promoting cleaner hydrogen production methods. The administration's goal is to advance the development of truly green hydrogen and position the United States as a global leader in sustainable hydrogen production.
