Fallasch, Felix et al. 2024: The EU Carbon Removal Certification Framework: Options for using certified removal units and funding mitigation activities. Interim Report. German Environment Agency: Dessau-Roßlau.

With the Carbon Removal Certification Framework (CRCF), adopted in 2024, the EU established a voluntary framework for carbon removal certification, which includes criteria for the certification of removals, rules for the certification process and the recognition of certification schemes. 

A new report by the Ecologic Institute and the Oeko-Institut for Germany’s Federal Environment Agency (UBA) discusses options for how certified removal units may be used. The report also explores what policy options are available to complement funding for removals besides revenues generated through the CRCF.

Tagesspiegel Background reported on this report: So ließen sich CO2-Entnahmezertifikate verwenden.
