A letter addressed to US congressional leaders by a coalition representing the American hydrogen industry has underscored the importance of Section 45V tax credits in driving industry growth. The letter expressed concerns over regulatory delays that have impeded private sector investment but indicated readiness to invest billions post the January final rulemaking. Emphasizing job creation and revenue generation potential, the industry warns of the risks of losing out to global competitors, especially China. The US Chamber of Commerce Global Energy Institute President highlighted the need for further improvements in the tax credit rules to attract necessary investments. Despite some mixed reactions to the final rulings, the industry remains hopeful for a conducive environment to scale the hydrogen economy and position the US as a leader in clean manufacturing. The letter aims to secure ongoing support for the tax credit to ensure the US harnesses the economic and environmental benefits of advancing hydrogen technologies.
