negative emissions technology

Negative emissions technology refers to methods that remove carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere to combat climate change. Unlike traditional emissions reduction, these technologies actively capture and store CO₂, reducing the overall greenhouse gases. Examples include methods like direct air capture, which uses machines to suck CO₂ out of the air, and enhanced natural processes like reforestation, which absorb CO₂ through growing plants. These technologies aim to lower atmospheric CO₂ levels, helping mitigate global warming, especially when reducing emissions alone isn't enough to reach climate goals.
