Will the Inflation Reduction Act help US...

S&P Global Commodity Insights
About this episode

Plug Power, one of the leading green hydrogen companies in the US, has put a lot of investment and attention in the European green hydrogen market over the years. But its attention is now expected to shift back to the US side of its business following the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act and its generous hydrogen tax credits. There’s broad consensus that the IRA makes US green hydrogen far more competitive than before, but can it now outcompete EU hydrogen?

Plug Power CEO Andy Marsh joins S&P Global Commodity Insights reporter Brandon Mulder to share his insights on the IRA and what it means for the US market. Then SPGCI hydrogen analyst Brian Murphy and pricing reporter Santiago Canel share their thoughts about the US’s green hydrogen export potential.

Learn more about regional differences in hydrogen prices around the world with SPGCI's Hydrogen Price Wall, and analysis of global hydrogen news and developments with the quarterly Hydrogen Market Monitor on Platts Dimensions Pro.
