Luxembourg’s government plans to coax companies with more than €400 million in subsidies and other financial incentives to shift away from polluting hydrocarbons to more electricity and even a future supply of hydrogen power, officials said Tuesday.“The achievement of our climate objectives is closely linked to the ecological and energy transition of Luxembourg companies,” Economy Minister Lex...
Hydrogen Subsidies
The Biden administration is making a bet that hydrogen fuel will help bring the American economy to net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. It’s investing $7 billion in hydrogen hubs around the country to produce so-called “clean hydrogen.” Plus, new federal subsidies and tax incentives are meant to encourage...
The long-dormant hydrogen industry won a game-changer subsidy in last year’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The U.S. is making such a big bet on the fuel that it is willing to pay $3 per kilogram of green hydrogen, which in some places could be worth more than the cost of production, enabling some producers to make hydrogen at zero cost. Analysts describe that hydrogen production tax credit,...

The EU will soon be the first global market to demonstrate how importing hydrogen (H2) can help accelerate decarbonization and promote energy security — if it can mobilize additional support for procurement and end use while strategically deploying green fuel to areas where it’s most needed. Introduction The EU set one of the most ambitious hydrogen deployment targets in the world in March...
The Biden administration plans to set strict requirements on the sources of carbon-free electricity used by hydrogen producers seeking lucrative federal incentives, according to news reports citing leaked information regarding long-awaited rules for the Inflation Reduction Act’s clean hydrogen tax-credit program. Politico and Bloomberg this week reported on leaked details of draft guidance from the...
By Michael Liebreich, Senior Contributor, BloombergNEF My last column was the first half of a two-parter on how the net zero transition would be both harder and easier than we might think. The second part will appear early next year. In the interim, however, the sixth Hydrogen Energy Ministerial in Japan announced a target of 150 million tons of hydrogen demand by 2030, of which 90 million metric tons...

The United States Treasury Department will reportedly issue draft rules this week for the Inflation Reduction Act’s (IRA) 45V tax credit to incentivize clean hydrogen production. Leaked details suggest they will require electrolyzers—which split water into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity—to use clean power to earn the subsidy. This requirement—using clean power, not fossil fuels—has been...
