By establishing clear, robust voluntary standards, we are not only fostering responsible and climate action within Europe but also setting a global benchmark for others to follow. This a vital step toward achieving our climate neutrality targets and ensuring a sustainable future.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">With the certification framework and the governance rules now in place, carbon removal projects using DACCS, BioCCS, and biochar can start applying for EU certification. This marks the transition from rule-setting to action, allowing the\u00a0<strong>first projects to be certified and recognised under the EU\u2019s carbon removal framework in the coming months<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>A European standard for permanent carbon removals<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The three methodologies adopted today set out clear legally grounded and voluntary rules for permanent carbon removals, defining what counts as a tonne of removal, how permanence must be ensured, and how the key risks such as leakages and liabilities are addressed. Together, they establish the European Union\u2019s first comprehensive standard for permanent carbon removals, providing\u00a0<strong>long-awaited clarity for companies and investors active in thin rapidly growing field<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By building on existing EU climate legislation, the certification framework\u00a0<strong>ensures environmental integrity while keeping administrative complexity to a minimum<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Next steps<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The delegated Regulation will now be transmitted to the European Parliament and the Council of the EU for a two-month scrutiny period, which may be extended by a further two months. In the absence of objections, it is expected to be published in the Official Journal in early April, with entry into force 20 days thereafter.The Commission is finalising two additional delegated regulations for certification methodologies, with adoption expected in 2026:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li><strong>Carbon farming methodologies for activities<\/strong>\u00a0such as agriculture and agroforestry, peatland rewetting and afforestation. These methodologies will help farmers and foresters get result-based payments, complementing their income and supporting them in the transition towards a more resilient production system.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Methodologies for carbon storage in bio-based construction products<\/strong>, which will help building owners demonstrate the carbon-storage performance of their buildings, and encourage the construction sector to adopt circular-bioeconomy principles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To kick-start the voluntary market for CRCF credits, the Commission announced the establishment of an\u00a0<strong>EU Buyers\u2019 Club for permanent removals and carbon farming<\/strong>\u00a0under the new\u00a0EU Bioeconomy Strategy. The Commission is exploring how best to catalyse both public and private finance and accelerate the deployment and scaling of carbon removal technologies. The European Innovation Council and the Innovation Fund also support innovative carbon removal projects.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Background\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The CRCF Regulation (Regulation 2024\/3012) creates the first EU-wide voluntary framework for certifying carbon removals, carbon farming and carbon storage in bio-based construction products across Europe. The Regulation is implemented through Delegated Acts that define certification methodologies for the different types of removal activities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The adoption of the Delegated Act follows the adoption in November of the\u00a0Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025\/2358\u00a0setting out rules on certification schemes, bodies and audits under the CRCF.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Once the Delegated Acts enter into force, interested certification schemes will be able to\u00a0<strong>apply for recognition by the Commission for one or more certification methodologies<\/strong>. The Commission will assess the schemes through a standardised assessment protocol (to be developed and published on DG CLIMA website), covering all the requirements set out in the Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025\/2358 and in the relevant certification methodologies.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The methodologies established by the delegated regulation on permanent carbon removals were developed in close consultation with the\u00a0Carbon Removal Expert Group. All documents shared with the expert group during the preparation of these methodologies, as well as recordings of the expert group meetings, are available on the European Commission website.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The requirements set out in the methodologies about the quantification, the permanence and the sustainability of the removals will help build trust and acceptance for responsible carbon removal practices. This is an imperative to drive investment into the carbon removal sector.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More information: <a href=\"https:\/\/climate.ec.europa.eu\/news-other-reads\/news\/eu-sets-worlds-first-voluntary-standard-permanent-carbon-removals-2026-02-03_en\">European Commission<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last February 3, the Commission adopted the first set of methodologies\u00a0under the\u00a0carbon removals and carbon farming (CRCF)\u00a0Regulation to\u00a0certify activities that permanently remove CO2\u00a0from the atmosphere.
