negative emissions technology (NET)

Negative emissions technology (NET) refers to methods that remove carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere to reduce greenhouse gases and combat climate change. These technologies include natural solutions like reforestation and soil management, as well as engineered options like direct air capture systems that use machines to filter CO₂ out of the air. By actively removing CO₂, NET helps lower atmospheric concentrations, complementing efforts to reduce emissions and aim toward a sustainable, climate-stable future.
