Clean Air Task Force – Our Federal Policy Platform
Since 1996, Clean Air Task Force has worked to design and implement international, federal, and local policy solutions for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and other air pollutants to protect human health and avert the worst effects of climate change while protecting vulnerable communities. Our climate goal now is net-zero greenhouse gas emissions no later than

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.
