### Welcome to Bracewell’s Inflation Reduction Act Resource Center

The US government made the largest investment in addressing climate change and supporting renewable energy development in the nation’s history when President Biden signed the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA) on August 16, 2022.

The IRA includes key provisions related to:

- carbon capture, utilization and sequestration (CCUS) projects
- hydrogen development
- onshore wind and offshore wind development
- solar projects
- energy storage

 Bracewell is uniquely positioned to advise stakeholders in the energy industry on IRA matters. Our lawyers are unmatched in their knowledge and experience in the sector, which allows us to provided deeply informed counsel on the opportunities presented by the IRA. In addition, our government relations team was influential in shaping the legislation, and is in constant dialogue with legislative leaders and administrative officials about new developments.
