IRSは、提案されている45Z税額控除規則に関する公聴会を5月に開催することを決定した。

By

-- 内国歳入庁(IRS)は月曜日、45Zクリーン燃料生産税額控除に関する規則案について公聴会を開催すると発表した。 5月27日から29日にワシントンD.C.で開催されるこの公聴会では、クリーン燃料生産税額控除の適用要件、排出率、認証・登録要件などが決定される。 この税額控除は、2022年インフレ抑制法によって認可され、昨年の「One Big Beautiful Bill Act」(包括的法案法)によって改正された。 2025年7月、「One Big Beautiful Bill Act」は税額控除の適用期間を延長し、カナダとメキシコで生産された原料も対象に含めた。 財務省の提出書類によると、この規則案は、国内のクリーン輸送燃料生産者、関連生産者の燃料について税額控除を申請する納税者、および物品税登録者に影響を与える。 再生可能燃料協会(RFA)は、提案内容が「適格販売」の定義に関するこれまでの混乱を解消し、間接的な土地利用変化による排出量を炭素強度評価枠組みから除外した点を高く評価した。 RFAは2月に、エタノール生産者は45ZCF-GREETモデルの改訂版を心待ちにしていると述べ、この改訂版によっていくつかの重要な課題が明らかになり、より明確な指針が得られると期待している。 さらに、農場レベルでの低炭素原料生産による排出量の定量化、外国産原料の輸入禁止措置の実施、エネルギー属性クレジットの利用に関する規定などについても、依然として疑問が残っている。

Research Alert: CFRA Maintains Hold Rating On Shares Of Ballard Power System Inc.

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:We increase our target price from CAD4.20 to CAD6.40, applying a price-to-sales multiple of 13x our 2026 sales-per-share view (CAD0.49 using a USD/CAD exchange rate of 0.73x). We adjust our 2026 loss per share (LPS) estimate to -USD0.19 from -USD0.23 and our 2027 LPS view to -USD0.11 from -USD0.15. BLDP reported Q1 2026 revenue of USD19.4M, up 26% Y/Y, driven by strong growth in rail (up 4,472% to USD5.1M) and stationary power (up 775% to USD5.2M), though Bus revenue declined 46% to USD6.8M due to delivery timing and EU funding delays. Q1 results showed encouraging metrics, and we see potential upside from major design wins with Wrightbus and Solaris for next-generation hydrogen bus platforms and a multiyear 50 MW agreement with New Flyer. However, its declining backlog remains a concern. The 12-month order book declined 2% to USD52.8M, while the total backlog fell 5% to USD112.9M. We applaud improving gross margin trends, reflecting successful execution of its cost reduction initiatives.
