Carbon removal is the process of removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and locking it away for decades, centuries, or millennia.
This could slow, limit, or even reverse climate change — but it is not a substitute for cutting greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon removal is sometimes referred to as carbon dioxide removal or CDR, and technologies for implementing carbon removal are sometimes called Negative Emissions Technologies (NETs).
Similar methods for capturing and storing other greenhouse gases, such as methane, are known as greenhouse gas removal.
