A new report from Clean Air Task Force (CATF) finds that Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) are closer than ever to large-scale commercialization after more than five decades of development. Drawing on a database of 103 historical and current EGS projects, the report documents steady improvement alongside recent step-change innovations that could enable EGS to scale rapidly and at lower cost if supported by sustained policy action, investment, and research.  “Fifty years of global Enhanced Geothermal Systems development have brought us to a turning point,” said Terra Rogers, Program Director for…

Clean Air Task Force (CATF), Carbon Balance Initiative (CB), and Bellona Europa recently launched a joint project to support and assess the effective implementation of Article 23 of the European Union’s (EU) Net-Zero Industry Act (NZIA). This initiative comes at a pivotal moment as the EU seeks to balance industrial competitiveness, energy security, and decarbonisation on the path to its 2050 climate goals.  As the first regulation of its kind, the Net-Zero Industry Act (NZIA) Article 23 introduces a requirement for oil and gas producers to contribute to the development…
