The Obama administration is going to be awarding $2.3 billion in tax credits for clean energy manufacturing as a part of its broad push to stimulate job growth in the United States. These tax credits are expected to produce an additional $5 billion private capital investment in the clean energy manufacturing sector, and tax credits worth up to 30% of the cost of each project could result in a total investment from the government of over $7.7 billion.

Whether or not businesses who promote clean energy use, such as certain auto transport companies, can benefit from the proposed tax benefits remains to be seen, but over 183 current projects across the Untied States have already been awarded tax credits. The projects in question must be completed and in use by 2014, though this shouldn’t be a problem – the Obama administration is saying that almost 30% of projects will be completed in 2010. These projects are wide-ranging though some include the development of better fuel cells for cars, carbon capturing technology and sequestration technology.
