Impact of US Policy on Climate-Tech Investments 

 

The surge in US climate-tech investments is largely attributed to the nation’s proactive climate policies, particularly the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA). The IRA has played a crucial role in fostering investor confidence by offering generous tax credits, grants, and loans for emerging technologies such as batteries, hydrogen production, and carbon capture. These incentives have made the US a favourable environment for climate-tech startups, positioning it as a global leader despite the sector’s broader economic challenges.
