Mission and Approach
  • Mission
  • Reduce harmful human impacts on Earths
    atmosphere.
  • Dual approach
  • Tighten regulation of emissions sources through
    advocacy
  • Get cleaner technology to market faster through
    business-to-business strategy and business
    collaboration.

Organizational Profile
  • Non-profit US corporation founded in 1996
  • Senior professionals including scientists,
    engineers, MBAs, lawyers, and outreach
    professionals
  • Governing board of senior energy industry
    executives and environmental advocates
  • Advisory Board of leading atmospheric scientists
    and energy experts
  • Headquartered in Boston with offices in the
    Midwest and Washington DC, and collaborating
    partners in the EU, China, and India
  • Nearly all of our funding at present comes from
    foundations we do not accept corporate or
    government money

Major CATF Project Areas
  • Commercialize low carbon coal technologies
    (gasification, CCS) by supporting real projects
    and business development
  • Advise US Congress and US EPA on climate policy,
    including regulation of power sector carbon
    emissions
  • Collaborations with academic institutions,
    industry and government to develop advanced
    climate technology (e.g. advanced post-combustion
    capture, CO2 capture from air, biochar, advanced
    automotive design and transportation systems)
  • Reducing health damaging and climate warming
    emissions

Profile of CATF Coal-Related Work
  • In US
  • Support specific gasification and CCS projects
    (e.g. Duke Indiana IGCC) before regulatory bodies
  • Advocate for state and federal laws and
    incentives to move US new coal build away from
    pulverized coal to sequestration-compatible
    technologies
  • Strategic support to develop US CCS pipelines
  • Chart research development and deployment (RDD)
    for advanced low carbon coal technologies
  • In India and China
  • Facilitate global joint ventures to produce
    better, less expensive low carbon coal
    technologies
  • With Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, and
    in-country partners, help ensure environmental
    sound siting and operation by developing best
    practice guides.
