CATF Response to House Energy & Commerce White Paper on RFS Blend Wall
In March 2013, the House of Representatives House Energy & Commerce Committee began a bipartisan review of the RFS by issuing a white paper on the challenges associated with the ethanol “blend wall.” The Committee sought feedback on a series of topics, including whether the blend wall problem should be…

Comments on EPA’s Proposed 2013 RFS Volume Requirements
The Clean Air Act allows EPA to reduce the RFS volume requirements for “advanced fuels” and total renewable fuels whenever it downsizes the annual cellulosic biofuel requirement. CATF’s comments explain that EPA needs to take this step in order to avoid further increases in the climate-harming production of corn ethanol…

Putting Energy Innovation First: Recommendations to Refocus, Reform, and Restructure the U.S. Department of Energy
It is widely accepted that America’s global scientific, technical, and economic leadership depend on high-quality education, world-class scientific research, competitive markets, and entrepreneurship. Robust innovation, which is dependent on those factors (among others), is almost universally regarded as a prerequisite for American success in an increasingly competitive global market. The…

Methane Emissions from the Oil and Gas Sector: Barriers to Abatement and Technologies for Emission Reductions
Methane is a unique hydrocarbon in several respects. It is a clean burning fuel, easy to desulfurize, easy to produce, transport to market, easy to use by consumers. It is also a powerful greenhouse gas partially because it is the only hydrocarbon lighter than air, and gravitates up in the…

Best Practices for Reduction of Methane and Black Carbon from Arctic Oil and Gas Production
Methane and black carbon are important short-term climate pollutants. Changing technology and climate change itself have increased the amount of oil and gas production activities in the Arctic region and this trend is expected to accelerate, with the potential for yet more methane and black carbon emissions from this activity….

Geologic Carbon Storage Through Enhanced Oil Recovery
The advancement of carbon capture technology combined with carbon dioxide (CO2) enhanced oil recovery (EOR) holds the promise of reducing the carbon footprint of coal-fired power plants and other industrial sources, while at the same time boosting production of oil. CO2 injection in deep formations has a long track record….
