The US Treasury has announced significant relaxations to the rules for hydrogen producers aiming to benefit from tax credits in the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). Under Section 45V of the IRA, clean hydrogen producers can receive up to $3/kg to bridge the cost gap with grey hydrogen and fossil fuels. The initial proposal required matching clean hydrogen plants' operations with renewable electricity production by 2028, but this has been postponed to 2030. Producers must have electrolysers and renewable electricity assets in the same grid region, with renewable power assets being no more than three years old at the start of hydrogen production. A new pathway allows for existing nuclear reactors as electricity sources for hydrogen production. The revisions, following around 30,000 public comments, aim to drive clean hydrogen deployment, create jobs, and maintain the US's position as a global green hydrogen leader. Despite uncertainties surrounding the upcoming Trump administration's stance on hydrogen incentives, legal challenges may emerge if there are attempts to significantly alter the IRA's provisions.
