Atmospheric Methane Removal: Development of a Research Agenda

This study will consider the need and viable options for atmospheric methane removal--one category of "negative emissions technologies" currently being explored as part of efforts to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. The committee will examine opportunities, risks, and co-benefits of different atmospheric methane removal approaches and make recommendations for new research that would improve understanding of these technologies and their implications. The National Academies will examine the need for atmospheric methane r...
