To achieve goals for climate and economic growth, "negative
emissions technologies" (NETs) that remove and sequester carbon
dioxide from the air will need to play a significant role in
mitigating climate change. Unlike carbon capture and storage
technologies that remove carbon dioxide emissions directly from
large point sources such as coal power plants, NETs remove carbon
dioxide directly from the atmosphere or enhance natural carbon
sinks. Storing the carbon dioxide from NETs has the same impact on
the atmosphere and climate as simultaneously preventing an equal
amount of carbon dioxide from being emitted. Recent analyses found
that deploying NETs may be less expensive and less disruptive than
reducing some emissions, such as a substantial portion of
agricultural and land-use emissions and some transportation
emissions. In 2015, the National Academies published Climate
Intervention: Carbon Dioxide Removal and Reliable Sequestration,
which described and initially assessed NETs and sequestration
technologies. This report acknowledged the relative paucity of
research on NETs and recommended development of a research agenda
that covers all aspects of NETs from fundamental science to
full-scale deployment. To address this need, Negative Emissions
Technologies and Reliable Sequestration: A Research Agenda assesses
the benefits, risks, and "sustainable scale potential" for NETs and
sequestration. This report also defines the essential components of
a research and development program, including its estimated costs
and potential impact. Table of Contents Front Matter Summary 1
