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.

Some examples
of NETPs:

Enhanced Weathering

Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS)

Biochar

Afforestation / reforestation

Direct air capture with carbon capture and storage (DACCS)

Soil carbon sequestration

Ocean alkalinization and ocean fertilization

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.

Negem will

  • 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.
