Inflation Reduction Act of 2022

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 establishes a series of tax incentives aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions to an estimated 42% below 2005 levels by 2030. These provisions cover clean electricity, including the extension of renewable energy credits and support for existing nuclear power; clean fuel production, specifically targeting clean hydrogen, renewable fuels, and sustainable aviation fuels; energy efficiency for homes and commercial buildings; and the adoption of clean vehicles. Additionally, the Act provides incentives for clean energy manufacturing to develop domestic supply chains for technologies such as carbon capture, solar, wind, and battery components.

• The tax incentives in Title I, Subtitle D of the Inflation Reduction Act are intended to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 42% relative to 2005 levels by the year 2030.
• Clean electricity provisions include the extension of renewable energy production and investment tax credits through 2024, after which they transition to a technology-neutral credit regime lasting until 2032 or until greenhouse gas emissions standards are met.
• The Act provides a tiered tax incentive for clean hydrogen production for facilities starting construction by 2032, with the full incentive value awarded to hydrogen produced with an emission rate below 0.45 kilograms of CO2e per kilogram of hydrogen.
• Manufacturing incentives are available for industrial facilities that reduce their own emissions by at least 20%, as well as for producers of solar, wind (including offshore platforms and vessels), battery components, and critical minerals.
