The Negative Emissions Platform is a Brussels-based partnership to improve the political and public recognition of carbon removal technologies and solutions. We represent technology developers, providers and sponsors, research centers, academia, think-tanks and the civil society. 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, soil carbon sequestration, mineralisation in building materials and the use of wood in lasting products and materials. We also actively promote the use of atmospheric CO₂ in e-fuels, materials and chemicals as a way of closing the carbon cycle, while delivering the economies of scale and cost reductions for atmospheric capture technologies. Membership in Negative Emissions Platform is open to a wide range of organisations (varying fees apply), providing they meet the following criteria: They fully support the platform objectives. They are, or want to become active in Europe as a technology developer, retailer, distributor, promoter or sponsor or; They are a national research entity, higher education institution, think-tank or civil society organisation dedicated fully or partially to contributing to research, advocacy and communication in the area of negative emission technologies.
