"Inflation Reduction Act ties clean-energy tax credits to critical-minerals sourcing requirements"

Canonical Claim

The Inflation Reduction Act conditions the IRC § 30D clean-vehicle credit on critical-minerals content sourced from the US or a US free-trade-agreement partner (explicitly including Australia) and excludes content sourced from Foreign Entities of Concern.

Jurisdiction-Scoped Fact
Jurisdiction: US
Authority: US Congress; Internal Revenue Service (Treasury)
Source: Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, Pub L 117-169; Internal Revenue Code §§ 30D, 45X, 45, 45Y

This is a human-established fact, not a universal axiom. It is true within US as enacted by US Congress; Internal Revenue Service (Treasury).

Answer

sec:answer-a26c2a92

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (IRA, Pub L 117-169) restructured the Section 30D clean-vehicle credit and created new advanced-manufacturing production credits (45X) and clean-energy tax credits (45, 45Y, 48, 48E). The 30D credit is conditional on the percentage of critical minerals in the battery that were extracted or processed in the United States or a country with which the US has a free-trade agreement — explicitly including Australia. Foreign-Entity-of-Concern (FEOC) rules (effective 2024) exclude vehicles with battery components or critical minerals sourced from Chinese, Russian, North Korean or Iranian entities.
