'The German government is aiming to introduce a 2060 target for net-negative
greenhouse gas emissions, as well as intermediate targets for technical carbon
sinks, as key elements of its contribution to the Paris climate targets. By the
end of 2024, the ruling coalition wants to agree on a long-term strategy for
negative emissions to help deal with residual emissions which are difficult or
impossible to avoid. In a document outlining the upcoming strategy, the
government says that limiting the global temperature rise to 1.5°C is
"increasingly unlikely", so negative emissions will also be necessary to lower
the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere to limit the risks of severe and
irreversible consequences for humans and ecosystems. The strategy will set the
targets, evaluate different carbon dioxide removal methods, and analyse
economic incentives to help ramp up the necessary technologies. Experts say
Germany could become a frontrunner on CO2 removal policy with the strategy.'
