President Biden signed into law the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) of 2022 which signaled a push to incentivize and reward companies that are pursuing climate and green energy-related projects. IRA funds total over $369 billion, with $10 billion specifically designated to Section 48C. The goal of this program is to expand U.S. manufacturing capacity and jobs for clean technologies, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to secure domestic supply chains for critical materials.
