Overview
The US Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) will fund $500 billion of federal spending toward reducing carbon emissions, lowering healthcare costs, funding the Internal Revenue Service and improving taxpayer compliance. These investments will focus on four key areas: carbon-free energy, manufacturing, transportation, and clean technology.
To explore how this will work and to ascertain whether this is a plus or a minus for your business, we have a number of experts who can contribute understanding and insights across economics, geopolitics, sustainability and energy security. This may be a US based Act but the repercussions are global.
