RMI has put forward an analysis of the theoretical availability of Energy Attribute Credits across U.S. regional electricity zones to determine if there is enough 45V-qualifying electricity to meet the needs of the seven winning Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs.
In summary, the analysis finds preliminarily that, “There are enough projected tax credit-qualifying EACs available to meet the stated electrolytic hydrogen production goals across Regional Clean Hydrogen Hubs.”
However, the report adds that “the system of markets and contracts required to access EACs is underdeveloped, and this is a critical challenge to both market formation and the effective operation of the tax credit.”
