Quantifying and Deploying Responsible Negative Emissions
Assessing the realistic potential of Carbon Dioxide Removal and its contribution to achieving climate neutrality.
Removing carbon dioxide to supplement emissions reduction
Although reducing GHG emissions remains the major policy priority, most scenarios compatible with the 1.5 ºC global warming target foresee the need for CO2 removal from the atmosphere during the
21st century.

Negative Emissions Technologies and Practices - NETPs
NETPs are a portfolio of mechanisms to remove CO2 from the atmosphere and to permanently store it on land, underground, or in the ocean.
NEGEM is a research and innovation project to:
Identify promising NETPs
having significant real-world potential in terms of technological parameters, planetary boundaries, costs, social acceptance and feasibility.
Create scalable pathways
that include NETPs to contribute to climate neutrality as laid out in the Paris Agreement and in the context of the Sustainable Development Goals.
