Hydrogen Americas Summit and Exhibition 2024 | Sustainable Energy Conferences Limited | 11 June 2024 | Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center, 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC 20004, USA

Having established itself as the premier gathering for the global hydrogen community in the Americas region.

Clean hydrogen has emerged as a crucially important tool to aid the decarbonization of hard to abate sectors in order to achieve energy security targets and net zero. As part of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), the 45V clean hydrogen production tax credit provides projects with a key financial incentive through CCUS.

Following the announcement of 45V alongside the 45Q tax credit, seen by some to be more practical due to there being no restrictive emissions requirements with calculations based entirely on carbon capture, questions remain over their applicability to certain projects based upon size and scale.

With a speaker line up packed with policy makers and key industry leaders from across the US and Americas, the Hydrogen Americas Summit provides the platform for these questions to be discussed at the highest level and for developers to understand the impact of these policies, making use of them in the most optimal way possible.
