Report finds says “negative emissions technologies” need to play a large role in mitigating climate change

Green Car Congress

Unlike carbon capture and storage technologies that remove carbon dioxide emissions directly from large point sources such as coal power plants, NETs remove carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere or enhance natural carbon sinks. However, it is currently limited by high cost.
