Negative carbon dioxide emission
- Negative carbon dioxide emission
-
A negative carbon dioxide emission or negative emission is a permanent removal of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.[1] It is considered the direct opposite of carbon dioxide emission, hence its name. It is the result of carbon dioxide removal technologies, such as bio-energy with carbon capture and storage, biochar, direct air capture or enhanced weathering.[2]
