This week, we hosted a webinar introducing the Fusion Cost Model – demonstrating how it can inform future innovation and investment in fusion technologies 👇

The model gives users a clear and as complete as possible view of the cost categories present in a fusion power plant and help to identify key cost drivers shaping different fusion power plant designs and enables consistent, apples-to-apples economic analysis across approaches.

To meet this need, Clean Air Task Force developed the Fusion Cost Model, informed by more than a decade of collaboration – including foundational work with Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy and @iaeaorg.bsky.social.

Leading forest scientists evaluated and scored 20 North American forest carbon credit protocols and developed clear recommendations to strengthen them.

However, there’s room for improvement. Forest carbon credits can help finance forest protection and restoration – but only if strong quality standards are in place.

We know that climate action that ignores economics, geopolitics, and energy demand won’t last, and that an approach that works alongside those realities can endure, powering us into a cleaner future.

Our latest blog explains how the Department of Energy can realign funding with congressional intent and use existing authorities to scale carbon capture, utilization, and storage the right way 👇

With updated 45Q incentives and the new Office of Hydrocarbon and Geothermal Energy, DOE can align carbon capture with domestic energy production, if it addresses the real bottleneck: CO₂ transport infrastructure.

The problem isn’t a lack of authority. DOE already has the tools to deploy carbon capture in ways that support energy reliability and deliver real emissions reductions.
