September 9, 2019 News & MediaEPA to propose eliminating methane regulations, CATF comments
As it has attempted to do numerous times over the first two and a half years of President Trump’s Administration, EPA today announced a proposal to remove pivotal greenhouse gas regulations for the oil and natural gas industry in a move that has dangerous repercussions for our climate. Today’s announcement signals that EPA will move
August 29, 2019 PolicyState and utility climate change targets shift to carbon reductions, technology diversity
The last twelve months have seen a marked shift in state and utility company energy and climate policies towards ambitious carbon targets and an embrace of diverse technologies to achieve them through “Clean Electricity Standards” (or CES’s). This fact sheet documents this trend, and provides a detailed guide to what states and utilities have committed […]
June 30, 2019 Decarbonized Fossil EnergyCCS Could Reduce 49 Million Tonnes of CO2 Emissions From Coal & Gas Power Plants
This time last year, the U.S. Congress passed a bipartisan bill called the Bipartisan Budget Act, which expanded and extended the 45Q federal tax credits for carbon capture and storage (CCS.) Happy anniversary, 45Q! As we entered a new world of 45Q, CATF took on the task of quantifying the impact of 45Q in the […]
February 12, 2019Our Mission
We push the change in technologies and policies needed to get to a zero-emissions, high-energy planet at an affordable cost. Imagine a world where the energy needs of all humans are met efficiently without damaging the atmosphere.
How We're Different
Technology Advocacy
Facilitating the commercialization of emerging and proven climate change mitigation technologies.
Policy Advocacy
Working practically and objectively to catalyze and spark realistic change that leads to major impact through legal and legislative advocacy.
Thought Leadership
Driving support for the most effective policy and technology strategies.
Examining All Options with an Open Mind
-
Advanced Energy Systems
Provide the world with a vision of practical, resilient pathways to a zero carbon energy system.
-
Advanced Nuclear Energy
Create a normal global research and development, commercial, regulatory, and social ecosystem in which nuclear technology can flourish in order to decarbonize global energy production.
-
Bioenergy
Redirect the production and use of bioenergy so that it contributes to—rather than undermines—decarbonization and climate stability.
-
Decarbonized Fossil Energy
Accelerate the adoption of carbon capture technologies to prevent CO2 emissions from power generation and industrial sources.
-
Power Plants
Ensure the adoption of U.S. emission standards on U.S. fossil power plants to zero out U.S. power sector carbon emissions by 2050.
-
Super Pollutants
Catalyze deep, global reductions in methane and black carbon emissions to help stave off the risk of irreversible changes to our climate.
