Our Michelle Solomon's most recent piece in Forbes describes how America’s #electricity sector is the Inflation Reduction Act's cornerstone, making up 30-44% of the bill’s expected #economy-wide #emissions reductions. Now, two years after the IRA’s passage, signs of progress are emerging. 👉 https://lnkd.in/eP-kbmuE

Using the IRA + CHIPS Dashboard, I looked at the top-20 IRA-related manufacturing projects (by direct jobs created) to see how they've progressed since their initial announcement. The results? Nearly all projects are expected to be constructed & completed. The project timeline visualization below shows the status of each of these projects. Some of the highlights are: - Announced in June 2023, Canadian Solar's Texas facility is already up and running with 1,000+ workers. They are also doubling their square footage and adding another facility in Indiana - creating 2,700 jobs between the two facilities. - Another major solar project that is already producing solar panels is Qcells in Georgia. They announced their project in January 2023 and started production in April 2024. Qcells will employ 4,000 people in their two GA facilities. - Honda & LG Energy Solution hit a major construction milestone in February and will begin battery production in 2025. Hiring has already begun in Ohio (2,000+ jobs). - Toyota has announced three expansions(!) post-IRA since their initial $1.29B investment in North Carolina in December 2021. Now up to nearly $14B and over 5,000 jobs (3,350 post-IRA), construction is going well and batteries are expected to be produced in 2025. - AESC announced in December 2022 they were building a $810M, 1,170-job battery facility in South Carolina. Since then, they've announced two expansions and are up to $3.12B and 2,700 jobs. They broke ground in June 2023 and will eventually supply BMW. A major takeaway so far is that solar facilities are on quicker announcement-to-production timelines than battery facilities. Companies like Canadian Solar, Trina Solar, & Waaree Energies in Texas are taking advantage of leasing large industrial buildings. Not surprisingly, leasing is much quicker than building. Solar cell and module production can typically take place inside many already built industrial facilities, while battery and EV production typically requires building from scratch. If you are interested in learning more, check out my Forbes piece on this topic: https://lnkd.in/gurD7zbe And as always, continue to follow the IRA + CHIPS Dashboard to keep track and stay up-to-date on where clean energy and electrification manufacturing investments are taking place across the country: https://lnkd.in/gJZrpcG2

NEW: We published a paper titled Hydrogen Policy's Narrow Path Forward: Delusions & Solutions. It's dense with information but organized for readability, including a series of standalone 2-page overviews covering 12 potential hydrogen end uses. The paper's core message: Hydrogen will be important for achieving our climate goals, but it can do so if and only if it is truly zero-carbon and directed to appropriate applications. Straying from this narrow path can reverse, delay, or raise the costs of emissions reductions. Hydrogen excitement has hit a fever pitch, with billions in subsidies on the line and first-mover developers and governments racing to gain an edge. But unlike other clean energy techs, hydrogen can make things worse if not carefully deployed. This realization inspired our analysis. While we've written at length about what's needed to ensure truly clean hydrogen production, our new paper mostly focuses on where policy should support hydrogen's use downstream. It includes a heavily researched end-use analysis (summarized by the graphic below), a series of key findings, and two sets of policy recommendations--one to boost hydrogen's uptake in high-value uses, and another to minimize risks of hydrogen's low-value uses. It's our hope that this paper can be a lighthouse that guides hydrogen policy to avoid enticing but disastrous pitfalls and instead fulfill its promise of helping achieve our climate and equity goals.
