Going carbon negative: What are the technology options?
Why do we need negative emission technologies?
We set ourselves an ambitious goal - to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050 and keep the global mean temperature below 1.5C.
Yet, there are some industries that are now difficult to decarbonise, such as steelmaking, cement production, transportation. Yes, we do develop technologies to decarbonise these industries! Don't get me wrong.
But will we be able to do it on time?
You can say that we develop NETs as a safety net.
In case the deployment of renewables, carbon capture, nuclear and hydrogen lags behind the targets, we may need to deploy NETs at scale.
But what if NETs can produce climate-neutral CO2 at prices competitive to the CO2 of fossil origin?

The Energy Central Power Industry Network is based on one core idea - power industry professionals helping each other and advancing the industry by sharing and learning from each other.
If you have an experience or insight to share or have learned something from a conference or seminar, your peers and colleagues on Energy Central want to hear about it. It's also easy to share a link to an article you've liked or an industry resource that you think would be helpful.
