Crux provides an ecosystem for tax credit buyers to transact and manage transferable tax credits, focusing on efficient finance for the energy transition.

Crux

The platform for sustainable finance, starting with transactions of the new transferable tax credits created by the Inflation Reduction Act.

Our CEO Alfred Johnson joined Sean McMahon on the Renewable Energy SmartPod to discuss the growth in the transferability market in the first half of 2024 and expectations for the second half of the year. 

They cover a range of insights from our Mid-Year Market Intelligence Report, including what’s driving the growth in the market, what developers can do to make their credits more transactable, and how new tax credit buyers are getting involved. 

Stay tuned to the end for a full-circle moment from Crux’s origin story:

Two years ago, the United States enacted the Inflation Reduction Act into federal law. It is the largest investment in clean energy by any nation in the history of the world. 

Since 2022, there have been $444B in investments in clean energy manufacturing and deployment according to the Clean Investment Monitor, creating hundreds of thousands of new jobs. 

In the IRA, lawmakers created a mechanism for clean energy producers and manufacturers to transfer the tax credits they generate to corporate buyers. 

Now, the transferability market is taking off. Our Mid-Year Market Intelligence Report indicates there were between $9-11B in transferable tax credit transactions in the first half of the year. We expect the market to reach $20-25B by the end of 2024. 

Here are 10 achievements to highlight in the two years since the law was passed: https://lnkd.in/gQnjAhDg

We now have $13B in clean energy tax credits live on the platform. Here’s a selection of 2023 credits still available on Crux.

If you’re interested in any of these credits, or learning more about how to transact your own, get in touch with our team: cruxclimate.com/contact

Yesterday, buyers placed over $1B in bids on Crux. It was the largest single day of bids since we launched the platform over a year ago. 

We anticipate the market will continue to accelerate in the second half of 2024, ultimately reaching $20-25B in total transaction volume by the end of the year. Get in touch with our team to learn more about listing your clean energy tax credits on the platform: https://lnkd.in/gnZ_X-CQ
