EU Carbon Removal Certification Framework

DefinedTerm · Legislation

Regulation (EU) 2024/3012 (entered into force December 2024) creates the first EU-wide certification framework for carbon removals. Covers: carbon farming (soil carbon, agroforestry, peatland rewetting, biochar), carbon storage in long-lived products, and carbon capture and storage. Certification requires: a baseline, additionality demonstration, MRV plan with field measurements, permanence safeguards, and third-party certification by an EU-approved body. Carbon farming certificates unlock payments under CAP and voluntary carbon market premiums.
