EPA strengthens standards for hazardous air pollutant emissions from power plants
EPA released a final rule updating and strengthening the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) for coal-fired power plants.
-
EPA finalizes strong carbon pollution standards for existing coal- and new gas-fired power plants
EPA finalized stringent carbon pollution emission guidelines for existing coal-fired and performance standards for new gas-fired power plants.

CATF Analysis: Exported gas climate impacts are complicated, but a focus on mitigation is key
For natural gas to have a role in in a net zero energy system, it must include aggressive mitigation of methane and carbon dioxide emissions from the entire gas supply chain.
-
EPA must finalize strong carbon pollution standards for all coal and gas power plants
CATF calls on EPA to act now to cut carbon pollution across the power fleet by finalizing strong and comprehensive emissions standards.
-
More for Less: Strengthening EPA’s proposed carbon pollution standards can achieve greater emissions reductions at a lower cost
The EPA proposed an important rule this spring to curb emissions from power plants, but it can and must be strengthened to further drive reductions from the nation’s second largest source of greenhouse gas emissions.
-
EPA proposes stringent carbon pollution standards for U.S. power fleet
Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed tight carbon pollution standards for the country’s fossil fuel-fired power fleet based on the best controls available.
-
EPA’s golden opportunity to dramatically reduce climate pollution from the U.S. fossil fuel-fired power fleet
Pollution standards are designed to ensure that polluters control their emissions instead of imposing them on people and the planet.

Unleashing technological potential through regulation: Scrubbing away pollution
As we advocate for U.S. EPA to issue carbon capture-based greenhouse gas emissions standards for fossil fuel-fired power plants, one question keeps coming up: how many power plants in the U.S. have carbon capture installed today?
