TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive review of negative emissions technologies (NETs) is presented, focusing on seven technologies: bioenergy with carbon capture and storage (BECCS), afforestation and reforestation, enhanced weathering, ocean fertilisation, biochar, and soil carbon sequestration.

TL;DR: In this paper, empirical data are assembled to populate a simple model identifying the most important factors affecting the cost of photovoltaics (PV), and the results indicate that learning from experience, the theoretical mechanism used to explain learning curves, only weakly explains change in the most significant factors, such as plant size, module efficiency, and cost of silicon.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that inventors of the most important technologies did not respond positively to strong demand-pull policies, and filing of highly cited patents declined precipitously just as demand for wind power created a multi-billion dollar market.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors argue that underestimating PV potential led to suboptimal integration measures and that specific deployment strategies for emerging economies should be developed, and that PV generation represents a growing share of power generation.

TL;DR: An in-depth assessment of the role of NETs in climate change mitigation scenarios, their ethical implications, as well as the challenges involved in bringing the various NETs to the market and scaling them up in time are clarified.
