Mission & Goals
NEP works toward a better political recognition of negative emission technologies and solutions that are indispensable to compensating for residual emissions and achieving net-zero target by 2050. Our main focus is on engineered and hybrid approaches with a potential for permanent removal of CO2 - direct air capture and bio-energy with carbon capture and storage, enhanced weathering on land and in the oceans, biochar, mineralisation in building materials, ocean alkilinity enhancement, and other methods.
