The Inflation Reduction Act will lower costs for small businesses by preserving lower health-care costs, encouraging energy-saving investments, and strengthening supply chain resiliency. On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act was signed into law by President Biden.
The Inflation Reduction Act marks a watershed moment in America's race to net zero, with $369 billion invested in clean and renewable energy, allowing the country to cut emissions by 40% over the next decade. Now is the time for businesses to seize this opportunity to accelerate their own energy transition and contribute to a low-carbon future.
In this exclusive 60-minute webinar hear from the expert “Kenneth Barden” on the historic bill and what it means for business?
The Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) signed into law by President Biden offers several benefits for American businesses and consumers. The IRA establishes tax credits and other incentives designed to encourage the transition to carbon reduction to offset the impacts of climate change. These credits include incentives to encourage consumer purchases of Electric Vehicles (EVs) instead of traditional fuel-based ones, encouraging domestic production oof EVs, reduction of healthcare and medical costs, and general measures to lower the impact of inflation.
This webinar is designed to provide attendees with an overview of the Act, along with regulations that came out to implement the Act’s provisions and will discuss the Impact of this Act’s provisions on various industries.
