How we win on climate: 2024 impact highlights

In 2024, the Clean Air Task Force (CATF) focused on defending U.S. EPA pollution standards in court, advancing superhot rock geothermal and nuclear energy, and reducing global methane emissions. The organization also worked on simplifying renewable energy siting in the U.S., analyzing the efficiency of hydrogen and carbon capture, and addressing high capital costs for clean energy in Africa. In Europe, CATF influenced the EU's 2040 climate targets and the Net Zero Industry Act, while continuing state-level implementation of federal funding in the U.S.

• CATF successfully defended several EPA regulations in U.S. courts during 2024, including limits on methane and volatile organic compound pollution from oil and gas sources, carbon pollution standards for power plants, and the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) Technology Review rule.
• CATF is promoting superhot rock geothermal (SHR) energy to provide clean, firm power, having initiated projects in the U.S., Iceland, and New Zealand. The organization also informed the bipartisan Supercritical Research and Development Act and contributed to an IEA report stating geothermal could meet 15% of global electricity demand growth by 2050.
