The Critical Role of Life Cycle Assessment in Securing the 45Q Tax Credit

Section 45Q of the U.S. tax code is designed to incentivize carbon capture, utilization, and storage by providing a performance-based federal tax credit. Under Section 45Q, companies can generate tax credits based on the amount of qualified carbon dioxide captured, utilized, or permanently stored – creating a dollar-per-ton opportunity tied directly to project design and performance. To support a 45Q application, the IRS requires documentation demonstrating net greenhouse gas reductions. Life cycle assessment (LCA) plays a central role in this process, shaping eligibility, credit value, and the ability of results to withstand independent review. EarthShift Global brings deep, hands-on experience applying LCA to 45Q projects – from early scoping and system boundary definition through data integration and review preparation. In this free Brown Bag Webinar, our team shares practical insight into the real-world decisions that underpin defensible analyses and successful 45Q outcomes.
