Assumptions on potentials for Carbon Dioxide Removals in the EU
(German Environment Agency, 2024)
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 2024.Therefore, EU impact assessment reports that were published over a period of eight years were analysed and compared with estimates in the scientific literature. It shows that potentials from the impact assessments are rather at the lower end of the range. While highest CDR potentials for 2050 in studies underlying the EU legislation assume -400 to -500 Mt CO2eq, literature studies often operate in the range of -500 to -600 Mt CO2eq, with one estimate reaching almost -800 Mt CO2eq.
Certification of carbon dioxide removals
(Umweltbundesamt, 2023)
Am 30. November 2022 schlug die Kommission eine EU-Verordnung für die Zertifizierung von CO2-Entnahme (CRCF) vor. Die vorgeschlagene Verordnung könnte die Umweltintegrität der EU Klimapolitik gefährden. Dieses Risiko wird dadurch verstärkt, dass sich die EU nicht auf die Rolle von Kohlenstoffentnahme für die Zeit nach 2030 geeinigt hat. Dieser Bericht bewertet den Vorschlag der Kommission für das CRCF. Der Bericht gibt einen Überblick über die Hauptelemente des Vorschlags und bewertet sie. Zu den Bewertungskriterien gehören, (1) ob der Vorschlag die EU-Klimapolitik stärkt, (2) ob er die Umweltintegrität wahrt, (3) ob er zu einer starken Umweltpolitik beiträgt und (4) ob er andere für Kohlenstoffentnahme relevante Aspekte berücksichtigt, wie Energieverbrauch, Kosteneinsparungen, Innovationen und gesellschaftliche Akzeptanz.

Commission proposal for an EU carbon removal certification framework
(Umweltbundesamt, 2023)
In November 2022, the European Commission put forward a proposal for a regulation for a Carbon Removal Certification Framework (CRCF).This proposal includes various provisions that would empower the Commission to adopt delegated acts. Delegated acts are intended to specify a number of provisions of the regulation. This report examines whether the proposed provisions on delegation are in line with Article 290 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the EU (TFEU). In this regard, the analysis focusses on the question what elements of the proposal can be referred to as "essential elements" and hence must not be regulated in delegated acts.

How to measure and quantify biogenic carbon removals
(German Environment Agency, 2024)
Robust quantification of carbon dioxide removals (CDR) lies at the heart of any certification mechanism and is central for their functionality and environmental integrity. For the establishment of a Carbon Removal Certification Framework (CRCF) that was recently adopted, the EU Commission is currently conducting an inventory of the existing knowledge base. The objective of most certification mechanisms is to turn greenhouse gas emission reductions or removals into tradable commodities. To achieve this, each certificate issued by a mechanism must reliably represent the same amount of greenhouse gas reduced or removed from the atmosphere. The report compares selected standards to work out advantages and disadvantages of existing monitoring methods for an EU certification of carbon removals.
Short typology of carbon dioxide removals
(Umweltbundesamt, 2023)
On 30 November 2022, the Commission proposed a voluntary EU carbon removal certification framework (CRCF) in order to promote carbon dioxide removal (CDR) through natural and technical approaches and spur investments into the respective technologies. This paper analyzes CDR typologies, compares them to CDR in the CRCF and identifies room for improvements. The aim is to stimulate the public debate by highlighting key aspects and implications of CDR activities that should be taken into account in implementing the framework and in future CDR policy-making.

Sustainability criteria for carbon dioxide removals
(Umweltbundesamt, 2024)
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 criteria. They are vague and require specification into executable criteria for certification. This report examines the robustness of the sustainability criteria included in the CRCF proposal and discuss different concepts for sustainability criteria. Quelle: www.umweltbundesamt.de
The EU Carbon Removal Certification Framework: Options for using certified removal units and funding mitigation activities
(Umweltbundesamt, 2024)
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. This report discusses the options for how certified removal units may be used and what policy options are available to complement funding for removals besides revenues generated through the CRCF.
