Assumptions on potentials for Carbon Dioxide Removals in the EU

This report analyses and critically reviews assumptions on natural carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and storage potentials with a view to the objectives of the EU Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (⁠LULUCF⁠) and Carbon Removal Certification Framework (CRCF) legislation agreed until February 202

Fact Sheet

Sustainability criteria for carbon dioxide removals

In November 2022, the European Commission put forward a proposal for a regulation for a Carbon Removal Certification Framework (CRCF). The principles laid out in the CRCF proposal of the European Commission and the proposed amendments by Council and European Parliament set minimum sustainability cri
