The fiery debate over implementation of the 45V hydrogen tax credit is often framed as "industry vs greens." This is wrong. Many industry players WANT strong & credible rules for 45V, as the future of the sector depends on it, including world's largest H2 producer Air Products ⤵️
“IRA’s 45V tax credit is the most generous clean hydrogen subsidy in the world. But without proper implementation it could backfire, & cause a significant increase in domestic emissions that imperil US climate goals," as I explained to @CatClifford @CNBC
