Chambers and Partners / Chambers Global Practice Guides

Renewable energy development in the United States has continued at a rapid pace under the Biden administration with expectations that the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) (H.R.5376) will accelerate wind, solar, battery storage, geothermal, green hydrogen, and transmission infrastructure development and related manufacturing and services industries. 

In a new chapter appearing in the latest edition of “Energy: Oil & Gas 2023” a Chambers Global Practice Guide, Partner John F. Pierce examines renewables, recent judicial decisions influencing the interplay with fossil fuels, renewables, and carbon reduction.

Covering over 30 jurisdictions, this guide provides the latest legal information on petroleum ownership; national oil or gas companies; private investment in upstream/midstream and downstream operations; foreign investment; environmental, health and safety; and liquefied natural gas projects.

John provides a basic overview of certain issues that impact the development of renewables in the United States and their interplay with existing and future fossil fuel applications, covering:

• federal and state incentives;
• successes and failures of policy and incentives;
• judicial influences; and
• Section 45Q – tax credits.
