Key Highlights
- In January 2024, the US Treasury provided its final guidance on the 45V hydrogen tax credit, where it relaxed some elements of its qualifying criteria. The US ‘three pillars’ rules relating to the need for renewable energy hour matching, incremental energy supply and regional supply have previously been criticized by industry players within the market for reducing the effectiveness of subsidies for electrolytic hydrogen production.
- Key aspects of the final guidance extended the need for hour matching from 2028 to 2030. Projects in states with strong renewable energy capacity will also be exempt from the incrementality rule. In addition, struggling nuclear power producers will be included as exceptions to the federal tax credit.
- Other policy developments include the announcement of a AUD$1bn green iron fund which is being funded jointly by the Federal and South Australia government. Up to AUD$500m is being set aside for the Whyalla Steelworks transformation, although this funding is reported to have been diverted away from the Whyalla South Australia green hydrogen project.
- Hydrogen policy developments, hydrogen production targets, national hydrogen strategies, financial incentives that aim to develop national or regional hydrogen economies.
- Gain insight into the key policy trends that are impacting the low-carbon hydrogen market and which regions and countries are coming to the fore in terms of supporting the growth of the hydrogen economy.
