The US government just defined 'clean hydrogen' for tax credit money

The US Treasury Department set the final rules for getting tax credits to produce clean hydrogen. This means companies now know exactly how to measure emissions and prove their hydrogen is clean enough to qualify for federal money.

The Inflation Reduction Act promised billions for clean hydrogen, but nobody knew exactly what "clean" meant. These new rules draw the line. Companies can now plan investments knowing what kind of hydrogen production will qualify for the subsidy. This will shape how the US builds out its hydrogen economy for decades.
