On 20 and 21 May, DG CLIMA will host the first annual CRCF Days, a hybrid stakeholder event on the implementation of the EU Regulation on Carbon Removals and Carbon Farming (CRCF).
The event will bring together buyers, project developers, suppliers, industry representatives, NGOs, Member State authorities, and other relevant stakeholders to exchange views on ongoing developments in the carbon farming and carbon removals sector.

- Engage with CRCF project developers, suppliers and buyers to foster collaboration and accelerate the deployment of the carbon removals and carbon farming market
- Take part in discussions contributing to the shaping of the EU Buyers’ Club designed to drive demand and investment in carbon removals and farming solutions

Background
As a fundamental step to build trust in carbon removals and carbon farming while creating a competitive, sustainable and circular economy, the Commission adopted Regulation (EU/2024/3012) on Carbon Removals and Carbon Farming (CRCF). The CRCF Regulation established the first EU-wide voluntary certification framework for: permanent carbon removals, carbon farming, and carbon storage in products.
In February, the Commission has adopted the first set of CRCF certification methodologies on permanent carbon removals, and will soon start recognising the schemes intending to implement those methodologies.
Looking ahead, the Commission aims to support the development of a robust market for high-quality carbon removals in the EU. In this context, the CRCF Days will contribute to this process by bringing together project developers, suppliers, buyers, industry representatives, Member State authorities, and other relevant stakeholders to exchange views on ongoing developments and to discuss the practical implementation of the framework, including the role of the EU Buyers’ Club in driving demand and investment.
