NETs (Negative Emission Technologies)

Negative Emission Technologies (NETs) refer to a range of methods and techniques aimed at removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. They are significant in combating climate change, as they help balance out emissions that are hard to eliminate. Examples include afforestation (planting trees), soil carbon sequestration (enhancing soil to store more CO2), and technological solutions like direct air capture, which uses machines to extract CO2 directly from the air. NETs are essential for achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions and mitigating global warming's impacts.
