Working Paper: A Time Horizon for Counting Bioenergy Emissions
In a working paper funded by CATF, Timothy Searchinger, the lead author of several seminal publications on the climate impact of biofuels, analyzes the appropriate timeframe in which to measure bioenergy’s net GHG emissions. Searchinger concludes that even a 20-year timeframe is generous, and considers the broader implications for bioenergy’s…

CATF Comments on RFS Eligibility of Palm-based Biofuels
CATF’s comments describe how a decision to qualify biofuels derived from palm oil as “renewable fuels” under the RFS would violate EPA’s statutory obligations, particularly its duty to ensure that qualifying fuels provide a reduction in lifecycle GHG emissions. CATF also contributed to a broader set of comments on the…

Brick Kilns Performance Assessment: A Roadmap for Cleaner Brick Production in India
India is the second largest producer of clay fired bricks, accounting for more than 10 percent of global production. India is estimated to have more than 100,000 brick kilns, producing about 150-200 billion bricks annually, employing about 10 million workers and consuming about 25 million tons of coal annually. India’s…
