Based on new comprehensive modeling, Alberta’s draft methane regulations will reduce far less harmful methane pollution than if Alberta’s oil and gas producers followed the federal methane regulations enacted earlier this year by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC). This analysis is based on emissions estimates and models provided directly by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC).

The primary goal of this modeling study is to estimate the modeled impacts on U.S. air quality and human health, of emissions associated with the Oil and Gas (O&G) sector.

The Arctic is unraveling. Since the mid-1960s, the annual mean surface temperature over Arctic land areas has increased by more than two degrees Celsius, almost twice the global average rate of change and the environmental “tipping point” for international climate change negotiations.

EPA must retain the requirement that rate-based states seeking to engage in interstate trading merge their target emission rates.

The Clean Air Task Force welcomes the initiative of Prime Minister Modi’s government to release the proposed Air Emission Standards for Coal-Based Thermal Power Plants by the Government of India, Ministry of Environment, Forests, and Climate Change.

Butanol made from corn starch poses many of the same climate threats associated with corn ethanol.

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 from gas-­‐fired plants.
