Press Release

Statement on the passage of the One Big Beautiful Act on behalf of Frank Wolak, President & CEO of the Fuel Cell and Hydrogen Energy Association (FCHEA)

Published by Todd Bush on July 4, 2025

WASHINGTON--"As Congress passes the One Big Beautiful Bill Act today, FCHEA is proud to have played a central role in helping restore the critical Section 45V hydrogen production tax credit. We commend our incredible Senate champions – particularly Senators Shelly Moore Capito and Bill Cassidy – for recognizing hydrogen’s unique potential to create jobs, drive investment, and strengthen our nation’s energy security. By restoring this incentive and providing the U.S. hydrogen industry with the flexibility it needs to invest and grow, Congress has sent a clear signal that the United States is serious about competing in the global clean energy economy.

"The extension reflects the efforts of FCHEA and the coordination of organizations from multiple energy sectors who came together to support a reasonable, commonsense policy solution.
