Key points

The EU aims to achieve climate neutrality by 2050, with a specific target of at least 310 megatonnes of net carbon removals by 2030.
Carbon farming should be a voluntary and rewarding business model for farmers to support soil health and biodiversity.
Industrial carbon capture technologies are necessary for sectors where emissions are extremely difficult to eliminate.
A new EU-wide certification framework is needed to ensure the quality of carbon removals and prevent greenwashing.
