The European Commission is currently implementing the Carbon Removals and Carbon Farming Framework, a voluntary EU framework designed to certify high-quality carbon removals and carbon farming (CRCF) activities. As part of this work, the European Commission is exploring the establishment of an EU Buyers’ Club to help stimulate and structure demand for CRCF-certified units, notably by mobilising and coordinating voluntary public and private buyers.
In this context, CAN Europe has participated in a consultation by the Commission, to share views on barriers and motivations to invest in carbon farming activities specifically, as well as the role that an EU Buyers’ Club and an associated EU Purchasing Facility could play in stimulating demand for CRCF-certified carbon farming units.
