Carbon dioxide removal

To realize the ambitions set in the Paris Climate Accords, it is not enough to lower emission of CO₂. It is also necessary to remove CO₂ that has already been emitted from the atmosphere. To achieve this, so-called Negative Emission Technologies (NETs) are being developed: ways to capture CO₂ from the atmosphere or at the point of emission, both technological and natural, and ways to store it long-term or turn it into usable products. 

Six program lines have been defined:

  1. Low Energy Direct Air Capture
  2. Routes to Carbonates
  3. Routes to Carbon
  4. Routes to Chemicals and Polymers
  5. Geo and Land Use
  6. Societal Dimension
