This policy brief outlines a proposal for formal separation of negative emissions targets and accounting from emissions reduction.
S.383 – Utilizing Significant Emissions with Innovative Technologies Act or the “USE IT Act”
The USE IT Act would support carbon utilization and direct air capture research. The bill would also support federal, state, and non-governmental collaboration in the construction and development of CCUS facilities and carbon dioxide pipelines.
Repsol Pledge
Repsol announced a commitment to net-zero emissions by 2050 and said it would use carbon capture technologies, reforestation, and natural climate solutions if it was unable to reach its goals via other means.

Moral Conflicts of several “Green” terrestrial Negative Emission Technologies regarding the Human Right to Adequate Food – A Review
This paper investigates whether BECCS, afforestation/reforestation, and enhanced weathering would cause moral conflicts regarding the human right to adequate food if implemented on a scale sufficient to limit global warming “to well below 2 C”.
