Subject: | Ensuring Clean Hydrogen Production |
In the near future, I will be introducing legislation to amend Act 108 of 2022 to ensure hydrogen is developed in a way that furthers climate and sustainability goals. Act 108 provides tax credits for Pennsylvania companies that use hydrogen as part of a federally approved hydrogen hub. The federal government is currently considering multiple hydrogen hub applications from Pennsylvania. This legislation requires hydrogen producing companies to sequester a large proportion of carbon emissions to receive the tax credit. The tax credit will be limited to hydrogen produced for “hard-to electrify” sectors, and a larger incentive will be offered to companies using hydrogen produced from renewable energy sources. These incentives will help ensure hydrogen production in Pennsylvania is in alignment with our collective goal to combat climate change. Please join me in cosponsoring this important legislation. |
