Key points

Establishment of a voluntary Union-wide framework for certifying carbon removals, carbon farming, and carbon storage in products.
Requirement that all certified activities must demonstrate a net benefit, meaning the carbon removed must outweigh any greenhouse gas emissions produced during the activity.
Implementation of mandatory monitoring and liability mechanisms to address the risk of carbon being released back into the atmosphere.
Mandatory independent third-party auditing to ensure the credibility and reliability of the certification process.
