Clean hydrogen production offers a pathway to significantly reduce carbon emissions, contributing to global efforts to combat climate change. Businesses applying to this tax credit and investing in clean hydrogen gain a competitive edge in an evolving market, boost their cashflow, and position themselves as leaders in sustainability.

How to apply?
This tax credit is refundable and available to qualifying taxpayers who invest in eligible clean hydrogen property between March 28, 2023, and 2035. Understanding the intricacies of this tax credit is crucial for optimizing your chances of obtaining it. Interested applicants must adhere to specific guidelines regarding eligible equipment, labor requirements, and compliance obligations to fully leverage the tax credit.
