Impact of Treasury Department's guidance on hydrogen industry in the US
The Treasury Department recently issued guidance on the Inflation Reduction Act, specifically the hydrogen production tax credit. Andy Marsh, the president and CEO of Plug Power, expressed disappointment with the guidance and stated that it did not follow the law. The guidance includes additions that limit the regions and sources used to generate hydrogen, potentially putting hydrogen hubs at risk.
