“Caving to political and industry pressure is a failure of EU leadership, and it puts one of our best chances to slow warming within our lifetimes at risk.” CATF’s Brandon Locke highlights the impact of European Parliament's decision to delay #methane import rules. www.catf.us/2026/10/eu-p...
The Industrial Decarbonisation Bank (IDB), proposed under the EU ETS review, is an opportunity to turn Europe’s climate and industrial ambitions into investment decisions and operating projects. Here's how the @ec.europa.eu's proposal can be strengthened: www.catf.us/resource/ets...
Geothermal test centers provide shared infrastructure that can address these high initial costs and facilitate rapid innovation. www.catf.us/resource/bri...
CATF, in partnership with the @cascadeinstitute.bsky.social recently published a series of reports on designing test centers to work effectively and unlock the potential of next-generation geothermal. www.catf.us/resource/des...
#California's $20 million #geothermal demonstration financing program can kickstart the next-generation geothermal industry in the state – if it's implemented well. Here's how to maximize the impact 👇 www.catf.us/2026/10/digg...
#Egypt is taking another big step in advancing its efforts to #CutMethane from its oil and gas sector. Egypt's Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral Resources, @ccacoalition.bsky.social, and CATF signed an agreement formally launching a project to develop methane abatement guidelines and capacity.
The work falls under the Fossil Fuel Regulatory Programme, which will work with Egypt to: 🔶 Develop methane abatement guidelines 🔶 Provide hands-on experience with emissions detection technologies 🔶 Engage companies on regulatory compliance www.catf.us/2026/10/egyp...
The Fossil Fuel Regulatory Programme currently supports eight programs mitigating #methane emissions across seven countries, including Egypt, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Brazil, Ghana, Iraq, Kazakhstan, and Argentina’s Neuquén province. www.catf.us/methane/foss...
CATF experts will be on the ground at #COP31, calling for climate action grounded in implementation by: 🔹Driving clean energy innovation 🔹Anchoring decarbonization in clean, reliable power 🔹Closing the waste methane gap 🔹Building durable partnerships www.catf.us/2026/10/catf...
At #COP31 in Antalya, Türkiye, CATF will work with policymakers, industry leaders, investors, and civil society to advance these priorities. Learn more about CATF's presence: www.catf.us/cop31/
NEW | CEE Pulse 003: Making Central and Eastern Europe’s Industry Fit for the Future. In this edition, we explore decarbonisation, competitiveness, and investment in CEE industry, how Poland could make CCS bankable, and chemicals and fertilisers in CEE. 🔗 cdn.catf.us/wp-content/u...
EPA's delay of reporting requirements under the Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program harms public health, the environment, & American competitiveness. The delay gives industry more time to pollute without providing the transparency the public deserves. www.catf.us/2026/10/furt...
⚛️ NEW modelling from Politecnico di Milano commissioned by Clean Air Task Force quantifies for the first time the scale, financing, and siting conditions needed to bring down the cost of small modular reactors (SMRs). www.catf.us/resource/fro...
At fleet scale, Europe can make SMRs more affordable, more bankable, and more useful for energy security, industrial competitiveness, and decarbonisation. www.catf.us/resource/fro...
⚛️ NEW modelling from Politecnico di Milano commissioned by Clean Air Task Force quantifies for the first time the scale, financing, and siting conditions needed to bring down the cost of small modular reactors (SMRs). www.catf.us/resource/fro...
Nuclear energy has the potential to provide large amounts of clean, reliable power to Europe – but only if the region moves beyond one-off expensive and delayed projects and embraces a proven industrial model: fleets of small modular reactors. www.catf.us/work/advance...
The new analysis finds that a first wave of roughly 13–20 medium-sized small modular reactor units could unlock much of the cost reduction expected from building at fleet scale. www.catf.us/2026/10/new-...
EPA signaled it is going to propose weakened #methane regulations for oil and gas, including for low-producing wells, which are responsible for almost half of the sector’s methane emissions despite producing less than 5% of the country’s oil and gas. www.catf.us/2026/10/epa-...
#Virginia’s energy future depends on decisions made today. CATF's Raihan Amir Rashidi explains how stronger planning can help Dominion Energy manage uncertainty and reduce risks for customers. www.catf.us/2026/10/virg...
Europe has spent decades building world-class #fusion energy expertise. The upcoming EU Fusion Strategy is an opportunity to turn that advantage into a competitive industry. www.catf.us/2026/06/euro...
On @foresight-ce.bsky.social's The Jolt, CATF’s Sehila Gonzalez explains how Europe can connect its research leadership and strong supply chain with the private sector – creating the conditions for commercial deployment of fusion energy. foresightmedia.com/story/sATaoG...
EPA’s proposed elimination of carbon pollution limits for power plants has no basis in science or law. CATF’s Frank Sturges explains why EPA remains legally obligated to regulate this harmful pollution. Watch his testimony: www.youtube.com/live/CQvq_YI...
The report provides recommendations on how the EU nitrogen fertiliser sector can stabilise while remaining competitive and preserving food security for Europeans. www.catf.us/resource/bui...
The 2026 Virginia Energy Plan, unveiled yesterday by Governor Spanberger, outlines a strategy to meet rapidly growing electricity demand while achieving the commonwealth’s clean energy goals. www.catf.us/2026/10/virg...
The Clean Air Act’s smog program protects 115 million people from the harmful air pollution, but EPA has been taking state actions that weaken the program and put public health at risk. CATF is fighting back. www.catf.us/2026/09/epa-...
The EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) cannot solve every challenge on the path to cleaner aviation, better fuel support and well-designed contrail incentives can help turn Europe’s goals into real projects and emissions cuts. Read our analysis here 👇 www.catf.us/2026/06/the-...
Reducing methane emissions is the fastest way to slow global warming in our lifetime. 69% of respondents support requiring imported oil and gas to adhere to the same standards as EU producers. Explore the polls here 👇 www.globalmethanehub.org/poll-public-...
Our three new #LeadMarketsNow explainers, developed with @bellonaeu.bsky.social, look at what stronger incentives could mean for clean steel, cement and chemicals in the EU— and what policymakers can do to give industry greater certainty to invest. Read them here: www.catf.us/2026/09/catf...
