US low-carbon hydrogen projects have some degree of certainty around their access to important production tax credits following reforms in the budget megabill earlier this month and must now decide whether and how quickly to move ahead. Project developers and other industry sources emphasize the need to move toward final investment decisions (FID) without delay while continuing to innovate, coordinate across the supply chain and navigate any future policy changes. Combined, these factors will determine whether the US clean hydrogen space can achieve scale and cost-effectiveness, they say.
