Negative emissions technologies (NET)

« Back to Glossary Index

Negative emissions technologies remove GHG gases from Earth’s atmosphere and store them on a permanent or long-term basis. Most NET are CDR, as CO2 is the major GHG gas. NETs include bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), reforestation, forest management, wood use, soil management (e.g. with biochar) and direct air capture.
