S&C’s Energy Transition Insights series explores the latest developments in clean energy, renewable fuels, carbon capture and other topics across the energy transition in the United States and globally, from analyzing IRS guidance on clean energy tax credits to examining the European Commission’s proposed Critical Raw Materials Act.
S&C’s extensive experience with clients in the energy and natural resources space positions us to advise on market-shaping transactions forming part of the energy transition. In the past year, we have advised California Resources Corporation on a joint venture with Brookfield Renewable focused on carbon capture and sequestration, a project that aims to significantly progress the decarbonization of California. We also represented Volkswagen Group and its subsidiary Electrify America, the largest open ultra-fast electric vehicle charging network in North America, in a $450 million investment from Siemens. For Jacobs Engineering Group, we advised the client in its inaugural offering of $500 million of sustainability-linked notes.
In a recent podcast, Inosi Nyatta, Isaac Wheeler and Sam Saunders discuss the unanswered questions about requirements and qualifications for receiving tax credits for clean energy projects under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA).
