Letters/Testimonies
These comments were submitted by the U.S.‐based members of the Nuclear Hydrogen Initiative (NHI) including the Nuclear Innovation Alliance. Our comments underscore the importance of ensuring that nuclear energy plays a meaningful role in hydrogen production. Not only does this clearly reflect Congressional intent in both IRA and IIJA clean hydrogen programs, but we believe that a large‐scale clean hydrogen market will not exist without nuclear‐produced hydrogen. To address this issue, our comments propose several additional pathways for existing nuclear facilities to qualify for the 45V tax credit.
