Quantifying Cost-effectiveness of Systematic Leak Detection and Repair Program Using Infrared Cameras
About 30% of the US anthropogenic methane emissions originate from the oil and natural gas sector. Emissions are partly leaks and partly engineered vents.

Power Switch: An Effective, Affordable Approach to Reducing Carbon Pollution from Existing Fossil-Fueled Power Plants
CATF’s study, Power Switch, proposes a common sense, highly cost-effective approach under Clean Air Act Section 111(d) for reducing carbon pollution from existing power plants.

Alternative Approaches for Regulating Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Existing Power Plants under the Clean Air Act
During the fall of 2013, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) began stakeholder engagement and regulatory processes to develop a proposed rule to regulate greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from existing fossil fuel-fired power plants under Section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act (CAA).

Upstream Implications of Coal to Gas Switch Under CATF’s 111(D) Proposal
The Clean Air Task Force and The NorthBridge Group recently analyzed two existing fossil power plant emissions scenarios for 2020, with and without a new policy under Clean Air Act Section 111(d).1 Without the proposed new policy, they predict 1,553 Tg CO2 emissions from coal EGUs, and 484 Tg CO2…

Carbon Limits Leaks Interim Report (Prepublication Draft)
About 30% of the US anthropogenic methane emissions originate from the oil and gas sector. Emissions are partly leaks and partly engineered vents. According to data presented by the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), 16% of the methane emissions in the onshore production sector are leaks, which here means fugitive…

Reducing black carbon emissions from kerosene lighting sources offers climate mitigation benefits
Around 1.3 billion people worldwide still lack access to electricity. For many, kerosene (paraffin) is a common lighting fuel and kerosene lamp use is widespread in the developing world. New research has shown that these lamps emit significant amounts of black carbon, 20 times more than previously estimated. A total…
