That’s why CATF initiated an international working group and collaborated with the OECD-NEA to launch MatDB4Fusion: a next-generation, community-driven materials database designed to support the development and deployment of fusion energy.

4️⃣ An opportunity for course correction

The Polish H2 strategy must reflect national conditions, industrial priorities, & physical constraints, defining priority use cases & timelines. Deployment of clean H2 should be situated within wider industrial decarbonisation strategies.

3⃣ Focus on emissions reductions, not colours

Current EU hydrogen rules only count ‘green’ hydrogen as eligible for meeting hydrogen-based targets, which risks leaving countries like Poland behind.

Targets must correspond, not contradict, with real emissions reductions needs.

2⃣ Industrial clusters are the launchpad

Industrial clusters – where CO2 emitters are located in close proximity – can lead the way.

Strong coordination between national hydrogen and CCS strategies can help identify priority sites and streamline infrastructure and funding.

1️⃣ Hydrogen policy does not yet align with industrial reality

Poland is expected to consume ~180 kt of renewable H2 per year by 2030 – 5 times the current renewable H2 production of the entire EU.

Low-carbon hydrogen with CCS offers a reliable, lower-cost alternative.

CATF’s new brief examines progress in Germany, the UK, Japan, and Australia – each showing 50–90% methane reductions since the 1990s.

Their success rests on strong policy frameworks, market incentives, and public engagement.

The Waste Methane Toolbox: Policy Solutions for a Low Methane Future
The guide underscores the importance of designing policies as part of a holistic strategy to build integrated solid waste management systems that manage all waste materials effectively.

Waste #methane makes up about 20% of global human-caused methane emissions, mostly from landfills.

But solutions exist today: food waste prevention, composting, recycling, landfill gas capture, and better waste design can cut emissions by up to 80%.

Four countries have effectively reduced their waste methane emissions through policy action. Here’s what they have in common.
The waste sector, encompassing both solid waste and wastewater, is responsible for roughly 20% of global methane emissions.

We’re advancing progress across 5 key fronts:

1️⃣ Cutting methane to slow near-term warming
2️⃣ Expanding the clean energy toolkit — from renewables to fusion
3️⃣ Aligning climate policy with economic growth
4️⃣ Building regionally tailored partnerships
5️⃣ Strengthening trust across the global energy system

Our message to global leaders at #COP30:

⚡️ We need more energy, not less
➕ We need more climate solutions, not fewer
🌎 One size does not fit all
🤝 Inclusion and cooperation are essential
✅ Accountability is critical

At CATF, we know that:

🌍 Climate needs a new set of options
🔃 The current approach isn’t working fast enough
💡 Innovation, not ideology, can guide the path forward
