The Carbon Removal Certification Framework (CRCF), adopted by the EU in 2024, establishes a voluntary certification scheme for carbon removals, carbon farming, and carbon storage in products, with the regulation set to enter into force on December 26, 2024. The CRCF aims to incentivize high-quality carbon removal and soil emission reduction activities across the EU to contribute to the Union's climate neutrality goal by 2050, introducing a unified certification scheme that regulates the trading of carbon removal units and sets criteria for quantification, additionality, long-term storage, and sustainability.
