Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) techniques, or negative emission technologies (NETs), are a suite of natural and technological pathways to remove and sequester carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the air. Unlike carbon capture and storage, these techniques remove CO₂ directly from the atmosphere or enhance natural carbon sinks.
A policy statement of the American Meteorological Society addressing geoengineering techniques, including those that reduce atmospheric greenhouse gases.
This bill would promote the development and deployment of CCUS technologies, including by making related pipelines and direct air capture projects eligible for guaranteed loan support from the U.S. Department of Energy.

The report presents data on carbon sequestration from the Land Use, Land-Use change, and Forestry (LULUCF) sector and from enhanced oil recovery in the United States.
Democratic National Committee Platform Drafting Committee
This is the United States Democratic Party’s draft policy platform that includes sections on the potential role of carbon dioxide removal/negative emissions technologies to combat climate change.
Microsoft is committing to remove more carbon than it emits through a portfolio of negative emission technologies including afforestation and reforestation, soil carbon sequestration, BECCS, and direct air capture.
Article 2 of this regulatory proposal sets the EU 2050 climate-neutrality objectives, recognizing that removals of greenhouse gases will be needed to compensate for emissions from sectors where decarbonization is the most challenging.
