Negative Emission Technologies , presentation given by Gianfranco Guitdati (ETH)
Negative Emission Technologies (NET) remove CO2 from the atmosphere and lock them away for a sufficiently long time. The two main ways to extract CO2 are biomass and technical means such as Direct Air Capture (DAC). The main sinks are the subsurface, for instance depleted oil and gas fields, the soil via biochar production and wood that is used for construction. NET is needed to achieve our ambitious climate goals, however, it cannot be considered in isolation but in all its interactions with the rest of the energy sector.
The talk will present various scenarios how we can achieve net-zero GHG emissions for Switzerland, highlighting the role of NET.
