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.

In "Carbon Capture - Utilization and Storage: Climate Change Mitigation," the urgent battle against climate change takes center stage as the world grapples with the pressing need to reduce anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions. Delving into the intricate science behind Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS), this book navigates the complex landscape of strategies aimed at trapping emitted CO2 and preventing its release into the atmosphere. From post-combustion to pre-combustion methods, readers are immersed in a world where cutting-edge technologies intersect with environmental necessity. As the global community strives to honor the mandates of the Paris Agreement, the author explores the potential of CCUS to pave the way for a carbon-neutral future. Despite challenges surrounding cost and commercial viability, a glimmer of hope emerges as integrated CCUS systems gain traction around the world. From the United States to China, these systems offer a glimpse into a future where carbon capture and utilization become integral components of sustainable energy production. With a focus on clarity and accessibility, this book aims to educate undergraduates, researchers, and policymakers alike on the vital role CCUS plays in the fight against climate change. For those seeking a comprehensive understanding of this pivotal technology, "Carbon Capture Utilization and Storage" serves as an indispensable guide into the realm of environmental stewardship and innovation.
