Case study:
Safeguarding against climate change through low-carbon energy and technologies

Clean Air Task Force (CATF) is a non-profit organization working to safeguard against the worst impacts of climate change by catalyzing the rapid global development and deployment of low-carbon energy and other climate-protecting technologies.

“We’re proud to be an early supporter of the 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy Compact. Decarbonized power grids are key to achieving our climate goals, and we need round-the-clock zero-carbon energy to decarbonize them. This compact will focus the private sector on the right goal: squeezing all the carbon out of the system, and commercializing the full range of technologies necessary to do that. To complete the job of decarbonization, we will need to incentivize the next generation of carbon-free, firm, always-on technologies to complement our promising base of variable renewable energy. That includes both policy change and higher-impact procurement practices that puts corporate and governmental buying power to work in the service of a carbon-free future. The 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy Compact is the beginning of a movement, and we hope many more will join us.”

Armond Cohen Executive Director, Clean Air Task Force (CATF)

Clean Air Task Force (CATF), a non-profit organization working to safeguard against the worst impacts of climate change by catalyzing the rapid global development and deployment of low-carbon energy and other climate-protecting technologies, was the first environmental NGO to join the 24/7 Carbon-Free Energy Compact. CATF joined the Compact in 2021 at COP26, with the hope that the Compact “will focus the private sector on the right goal: squeezing all the carbon out of the system, and commercializing the full range of technologies necessary to do that.” Learn more here.
