Overview
The Clean Air Task Force (CATF) focuses on mitigating CO2 through promoting policies that include Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), low-carbon energy innovation, high-penetration renewable energy integration, and nuclear power. CATF also focuses on high potency pollutants like methane and black carbon. They are one of the lead groups engaged in the EPA’s rule requiring new coal fired power plants to be equipped with CCS, and are playing a leading role in advocating for CCS in China.

Grants to this Grantee
for staff retreat and development
Clean Air Task Force builds momentum for solutions based on scientific evidence, intellectual integrity, and pragmatism. With staff based around the world, this Organizational Effectiveness grant will support an all-staff retreat, creating an unprecedented opportunity for staff to meet in person, collaborate organically on shared priorities, and strengthen community across teams.
for scoping effective implementation of new legislation
This grant to the Clean Air Task Force will enable a network of organizations to develop a plan to support the responsible build-out of low- and zero-carbon technologies, consistent with the federal government’s decarbonization goals to reduce emissions by 50 percent by 2030 and to reach net zero emissions by 2050. The plan will consider how to document and communicate the ways these projects benefit communities, such as the creation of high-paying local jobs and strengthening community tax bases.
