  1. 1. CO2 Sequestration by Bio-Accelerated Silicate Weathering

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Tora Uebel; Elisabeth Odelius; [2023]
    Keywords : enhanced silicate weathering; microorganisms; negative emission technology; CO2 emissions;

    Abstract : Human-caused emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases are an established reason for the climate changes that affect planet Earth. Negative emission technologies (NETs), for example, bio-accelerated silicate weathering bioreactors, seek to capture and store carbon from the atmosphere. READ MORE

  3. 2. Comparative techno-economic analysis of BECCS and biochar in Sweden

    University essay from SLU/Dept. of Energy and Technology

    Author : Simon Martelius; [2022]
    Keywords : NETs; feasibility; cost-effectiveness; climate change-mitigation; CHP; carbon neutrality; bioenergy;

    Abstract : Greenhouse gas emissions from human activity need to decrease for the Paris agreement goal of 1.5° C of global warming to be reached, and while emission reduction efforts remain the most important tool for combating climate change, it is increasingly evident that negative emission technologies (NETs) will play a key role reaching the climate targets of the Paris agreement.

  4. 3. DIRECT AIR CAPTURE CONTRIBUTION TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Hólmfrídur Snorradóttir; [2022]
    Keywords : Sustainable Development; Negative Emissions Technologies NETs ; Direct Air Capture DAC ; Three Pillars of Sustainability; Qualitative Approach;

    Abstract : To meet ambitious climate goals, of keeping global warming below 2°C, past emissions need to be removed from the atmosphere with the help of negative emissions technologies (NETs). The transition of energy systems, however, needs to follow the requirements of sustainable development to benefit all three pillars of sustainability, those are the environment, society, and economy.

  5. 4. Interpretations of concepts and implementation of negative emissions technologies (NETs) in long-term climate targets : A cross country comparison

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för tema

    Author : Sofia Gren; Linnea Sörman; [2021]
    Keywords : Negative emissions technologies NETs ; Net-zero GHG emissions; Carbon neutral; Climate neutral; Long-term climate targets; Negativa utsläpp; netto-noll växthusgasutsläpp; koldioxidneutral; klimatneutral; långsiktiga klimatmål;

    Abstract : Countries' long-term climate targets are described by different concepts who, over time, have become increasingly dependent on negative emissions technologies (NETs) in order for the targets to be reached. This thesis is a cross country comparison, examining similarities and differences in the concepts used by seven countries to express their long-term climate targets, focusing on their plans for implementing NETs.

  6. 5. Governing the emerging sociotechnical imaginary of a climate-positive Sweden : an exploration of the political discussion on negative emissions technologies as a climate change solution

    University essay from Lunds universitet/LUCSUS

    Author : Kirstine Lund Christiansen; [2020]
    Keywords : sustainability science; bioenergy with carbon capture and storage; climate governance; carbon dioxide removal; climate recovery; elite interviews; polluter pays principle; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : In recent years, negative emissions technologies (NETs) have gained attention as a strategy to tackle climate change. While the academic debate on NETs has been heated, international and national governance frameworks for regulating and incentivising the technologies largely remain unseen. READ MORE
