DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY


Notice of Availability of the 45V Emissions Value Request Process

AGENCY: Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, Department of 
Energy.

ACTION: Notice of availability.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) hereby provides notice of 
availability of the Emissions Value Request Process in support of the 
U.S. Department of the Treasury's (Treasury) and Internal Revenue 
Service's (IRS) administration of the section 45V Credit for Production 
of Clean Hydrogen.

ADDRESSES: The Department of Energy's Emissions Value Request Process 
for use in obtaining an emissions value in support of a petition for a 
provisional emissions rate (PER) is located at: https://www.energy.gov/eere/45VEmissionsValueRequest.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Questions may be addressed to Karen 
Dandridge at <a href="/cdn-cgi/l/email-protection#4470711201292d37372d2b2a37162135312137300421216a202b216a232b32"><span class="__cf_email__" data-cfemail="e7d3d2b1a28a8e94948e888994b5829692829493a78282c9838882c9808891">[email protected]</span></a> or (202) 586-3388.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: As part of the Inflation Reduction Act of 
2022 (Pub. L. 117-169), Congress created a tax credit for clean 
hydrogen production (Internal Revenue Code section 45V). The amount of 
the credit is determined, in part, by the lifecycle greenhouse gas 
emissions rate of the hydrogen production process. On December 26, 
2023, Treasury issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (NPRM) on how to 
claim the credit. (88 FR 89220). As provided in the proposed rule, 
hydrogen producers intending to claim the tax credit must determine the 
emissions rate of their hydrogen production process under the 45VH2-
GREET model or by petitioning the IRS for a PER. Hydrogen producers 
whose lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions rate cannot be

determined under the 45VH2-GREET model may request an emissions value 
from DOE, and may then use this emissions value to file a petition with 
the IRS for determination of a PER. On April 11, 2024, Treasury issued 
a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking to invite comment on the 
information collection proposed for DOE's Emissions Value Request 
Process. (89 FR 25551). DOE and Treasury have considered the comments 
received, and DOE is now announcing the opening of the Emissions Value 
Request Process.
