Briefing: Sustainable carbon cycles: Promoting removal, storage and recycling
by Liselotte Jensen (European Parliamentary Research Service)
„At the end of 2022, the EU Commission plans to put forward a legislative proposal on a European framework for the certification of carbon removals, which could lead to a market for carbon removals, further incentivising measures to increase carbon sequestration and storage. Ensuring high environmental integrity and adequate monitoring and reporting frameworks is crucial, while also taking into account potential trade-offs or co-benefits of potential solutions.“
