In late December, the United States Treasury Department released the anticipated tax guidance for hydrogen production. The regulations for the 45V tax credit outline qualifications for a range of 60-cents to 3 dollars per kg of hydrogen produced. To claim the full credit of 3 dollars per kg, companies will need to immediately start using new clean electricity produced in the same region of a hydrogen facility and the hydrogen produced must use prevailing wages and apprenticeship requirements.
The guidance is available for public comment for 60 days.
