CATF has mainly been focusing on cutting methane emissions, hydrogen, carbon management, industrial decarbonisation, electricity and grids, infrastructure deployment, geothermal energy, fusion, SMRs, and transport. Among others, CATF has been working on the Net Zero Industry Act (NZIA), the Carbon Removal Certification Framework (CRCF), the Methane Regulation, the Industrial Accelerator Act, the Emissions Trading System (ETS), the CO2 transport and markets Regulation, the Grid Package, the geothermal action plan, the fusion strategy.

CATF focuses mainly on advocacy. CATF has published reports and briefings. Among others, CATF published a report on National Energy and Climate Plan (https://www.catf.us/resource/bridging-planning-gap/), on a vision for EU net zero (https://www.catf.us/resource/a-vision-for-the-eu-net-zero-transition/), on potential measures on methane emissions from imports (https://www.catf.us/2023/09/designing-eu-methane-import-standard/), on public opinions on energy and climate technologies (https://www.catf.us/2023/11/polling-shows-that-europe-is-ready-for-clean-firm-energy-technologies/), on a carbon management strategy (https://www.catf.us/2023/11/tracking-progress-europes-2023-carbon-capture-projects/), on SMR strategy (https://www.catf.us/resource/clean-air-task-force-recommendations-for-the-eu-smr-strategy), on the grid package ( https://www.catf.us/resource/catf-recommendations-for-the-upcoming-grid-package/), on the fusion strategy (https://www.catf.us/resource/fusion-engine-growth-european-industrial-strategy-fusion-energy/). CATF also had communication campaign on methane emissions reduction, mainly focusing on cutting emissions from imports (see here: https://cutmethane.eu/).
