NET (Negative Emissions Technology)

Negative Emissions Technology (NET) refers to methods that actively remove carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere to help combat climate change. These technologies include processes like direct air capture, where devices filter CO₂ directly from the air, and biological approaches like reforestation, which absorb CO₂ through plant growth. The goal of NET is to achieve a net reduction in atmospheric CO₂ levels, supplementing efforts to reduce emissions from fossil fuels. In essence, NET aims to not only stop adding CO₂ but to actively reduce the total amount in the atmosphere, helping stabilize the Earth's climate.
