ABGi USA has added carbon capture and clean fuel production tax credits to its energy incentive portfolio. The firm now helps businesses claim Section 45Q credits for carbon oxide sequestration and Section 45Z credits for low-carbon fuel production, including sustainable aviation fuel. These build on its existing work with clean energy investment, advanced manufacturing, and clean hydrogen incentives under Sections 48, 48E, 45X, and 45V. For companies evaluating new facilities, energy infrastructure, manufacturing expansions, or decarbonization projects, understanding which federal incentives apply can materially affect project economics. ABGi's specialists assist with eligibility assessment, credit valuation, and compliance navigation. The credits are performance based, so actual emissions reductions and lifecycle analysis determine the final value, making early planning important. Businesses considering carbon capture or clean fuel projects may benefit from a clearer picture of how these federal tax credits can support their investments. ABGi USA operates across nine countries and has been helping companies navigate incentives for over 35 years.

ABGi adding 45Q and 45Z services makes sense, they already do clean energy and hydrogen credits. The interesting part is that these are performance based, so the real value depends on actual capture and fuel lifecycle emissions. For project developers, that means careful tracking from day one.

Section 45Q for carbon sequestration and 45Z for clean fuels, both are big for the energy transition. The article mentions 12 years of credits for qualified facilities, that is a long horizon. Good to see consultancies expanding into this space, it lowers the barrier for companies that do not have internal tax teams.

The practical side: these credits can change the economics of a capture unit or a clean fuel plant. But the timeline to get the facility placed in service matters. For large projects, that could be years. Also, the verification requirements are not trivial. Curious how ABGi plans to handle that part.

The design of 45Q and 45Z is performance based, so the credit amount hinges on actual emissions reductions. That is good in theory, but it puts a lot of weight on measurement and reporting. For companies evaluating projects, they need to know the exact rules for lifecycle analysis and carbon accounting. That is where a service like this can add value.

Not directly my field, but I have seen how tax credits can tip the scale for industrial projects. If a company is considering carbon capture or clean fuel production, having someone who can estimate credit value early is useful. The article is short on numbers, though, no specific examples of potential credit amounts.
