FRANKFURT, Aug 13 (Reuters) - Vital regulation to govern

tax credits for green hydrogen in the United States may not be

released before the upcoming presidential election in November,

the chief executive of Thyssenkrupp Nucera told

analysts on Tuesday.

"What we hear in the market is actually that the likelihood

that it will be released before the elections is very low,"

Werner Ponikwar said after the release of final third-quarter

results.

"And again I think this is one of those uncertainties that

makes it for us very difficult to predict also how projects will

move ahead in next year."
