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...

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-...

A commercially-driven industrial strategy can provide those conditions, including fit-for-purpose regulation, public-private partnerships, and milestone programmes that help promising technologies like fusion energy progress toward deployment.

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 EU nitrogen fertiliser industry is crucial to Europe’s food security – but its climate footprint is large, accounting for 3-5% of EU greenhouse gas emissions, and the industry is facing increasing structural pressures.

Europe has technologies capable of cutting emissions from steel, cement, & chemicals, but the predictable demand needed to turn those technologies into investable projects is missing. How can the #IAA help create credible lead markets for low-carbon industrial products?

Chemicals form the building blocks of modern life, but the industry is under acute structural pressure in Europe. A lack of investment, global competition, and comparatively high energy and feedstock costs have collectively eroded Europe's global market share.

Europe has the expertise and resources to lead on geothermal energy. The EU and its Member States need strategies that unlock geothermal for around-the-clock clean power, industrial heat, heating and cooling - including next-generation technologies. www.catf.us/2025/03/eu-c...

Permanent carbon removals could support the EU ETS, but only with strong safeguards. CATF calls for gradual integration, protection of the gross emissions cap, supply controls, differentiated allowances, robust monitoring and an early review. cdn.catf.us/wp-content/u...

Landfill methane and waste incineration must be addressed together. Bringing landfills into the ETS could drive real emissions cuts, but obligations must be based on credible site-level measurement and designed to avoid simply shifting waste between disposal routes. www.catf.us/methane/wast...

Aviation decarbonisation must become investable. The ETS revision should provide stronger, longer-term support for low-carbon fuels, make better use of revenues, and help close the EU’s e-SAF investment gap. It should also support targeted action on contrails. www.catf.us/2026/06/the-...

Clean Air Task Force @cleanaircatf.bsky.social · 17/07/2026
The EU ETS must remain a credible, stable, and ambitious anchor for climate investment. A robust carbon price is key, but it can't deliver industrial transformation alone. Europe needs infrastructure, targeted finance & policies that build clean product markets. www.catf.us/resource/str...

The chemicals sector is also one of the hardest-to-abate sectors in the energy transition, simultaneously a major source of industrial emissions and an indispensable input to the technologies needed to decarbonise the broader economy.
