CATF Statement on EU Climate Targets

The Clean Air Task Force asserts that the EU's 2050 climate targets require immediate action this decade to be effective. It specifically advocates for strong methane standards for domestic and imported gas to reduce over five million tons of methane annually by 2030, and calls for investment in carbon capture, removal, storage, and zero-carbon fuels to decarbonize industrial processes, heavy transport, and waste management.

• The European Union needs to implement strong methane standards for both domestic and imported gas by 2030, which could result in an annual reduction of more than five million tons of methane. This impact is compared to replacing approximately 120 coal-fired power plants with carbon-free generation.
