Clean hydrogen projects in the United States are facing a deadline of the end of December 2027 to qualify for the 45V production tax credit. This tax credit, offering up to $3/kg, is a pivotal factor in the success of green hydrogen initiatives in the country. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, recently passed by Congress after extensive discussions, sets the new deadline for the tax credit, replacing the previous timeline proposed by the Inflation Reduction Act which planned for a later expiration. The Act's passage signals strong governmental support for clean hydrogen projects, despite the earlier sunset date. While House Republicans had initially pushed for the credit to end this year, the final deadline of 2027 allows developers a clearer path to secure funding and commence project construction. This deadline spurs a race among clean hydrogen projects to meet the eligibility criteria and highlights the importance of timely investments in green energy infrastructure.
