Clean Air Task Force (CATF) is a nonprofit advocacy and research organization dedicated to decarbonizing the global energy system. The organization works to drive the development and deployment of technologies and policies necessary to achieve a zero-emissions, high-energy planet at an affordable cost. CATF operates across multiple sectors including advanced nuclear energy, carbon capture, electricity, hydrogen, methane reduction, geothermal energy, transportation, and land systems, with active programs in the United States, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East and North Africa region. Founded in 1996, CATF takes a science-driven, solutions-focused approach that distinguishes it from many environmental organizations. Rather than advocating for a narrow set of technologies, it examines all options through rigorous modeling and systems analysis, technology innovation support, and practical policy advocacy. The organization has been recognized as one of the most effective climate organizations globally, a distinction that reflects its emphasis on measurable impact and strategic engagement with both policymakers and industry stakeholders. CATF's methodology centers on three core activities: providing analytical support for effective policy and technology strategies, facilitating the commercialization of next-generation energy technologies, and pursuing legal and legislative advocacy grounded in objectivity. With over 30 years of experience and a growing international footprint, CATF collaborates with local partners and stakeholders worldwide to design and advance innovative solutions to the climate crisis.
