Unlock the Full Potential of the 45V Clean Hydrogen Tax Credit

Powering the Clean Energy Future—With Confidence 

The Section 45V Clean Hydrogen Tax Credit is a transformative federal incentive designed to accelerate clean hydrogen production in the United States. Available for the first 10 years a qualified facility is placed in service, the credit rewards producers based on the lifecycle greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of their hydrogen output. 

About R&DCredit Value Overview 

  • Base Credit: Ranges from $0.10 to $0.60 per kilogram of hydrogen, depending on emissions intensity. 
  • Bonus Credit: Multiplied by five—up to $3.00 per kilogram—if the facility meets prevailing wage and apprenticeship (PWA) requirements. 

This enhanced rate is a powerful incentive for developers who prioritize workforce standards and sustainable operations.  In addition, companies have the option to claim this credit as refundable for 5 of the 10 years (elective payment) 

What’s New: Legislative Updates 

Recent changes from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB) have extended the construction start deadline for 45V-eligible facilities to December 31, 2027, giving developers two additional years to qualify. The credit structure, value, and options for direct pay and transferability remain unchanged, though transfers to certain foreign entities are now restricted.
