IRA Spurs New Fortress Energy to Build Green Hydrogen Plant

We are starting to see evidence of how the Inflation Reduction Act is causing investments by the energy industry.

New Fortress Energy is already building a new Green Hydrogen plant in Beaumont Texas that will take advantage of the $3/kg tax credit made. possible by the Inflation Reduction Act.

Highlights from the New Fortress Energy Q3 conference call:

  • Initial focus of clean hydrogen is to be selling to the refining and petrochemicals industry. Big impact on CO2 reduction there.
  • Very early days of clean hydrogen.
  • First Movers in the industry are being built NOW.
  • Beaumont plant to be first of 5 plants. Beaumont to be operational in 2024.
  • IRA (Inflation Reduction Act) to spur more than $4 Trillion in investment by industry.
  • Inexhaustible demand for green hydrogen.
  • Production of Green Hydrogen has currently been a hobby, but the IRA makes it an economically viable market.

These are the three slides on Hydrogen from the Q3 conference call.
