Why the EU’s rulebook for certifying permanent carbon removals will fail - Carbon Market Watch This webinar that explains the Carbon Removal and Carbon Farming framework, and why and how policymakers need to reject the currently proposed rules for the quantification of permanent removals

Join us, @carbonmarketwatch.bsky.social and @fern.org in this pressing event to discuss the EU’s new rulebook for certifying permanent #CarbonRemovals that could undermine environmental efforts and deter polluters from reducing their emissions.

EU 2040 climate target: from ambition to action for clean heat & carbon removals - Bioenergy Europe By 2040, the European Union should meet a 90% net greenhouse gas emissions target compared to 1990. The draft agreement on the EU Climate Law reinforces a technology-neutral approach and puts energy a...

A 90% net emissions cut by 2040 is the right ambition. Europe now needs a clear #fossilexit, a strong #HeatingAndCooling Strategy for #CleanHeat, sustainable #bioenergy and permanent #CarbonRemovals.

🇪🇺 In the next few weeks, the EU is set to finalise the new 2040 #ClimateTargets.

❌ But the proposal sticks to the #NetZero playbook, relying on international #offsets and #CarbonRemovals instead of real emissions cuts.

We need to move beyond net zero — and take meaningful steps toward #RealZero!

🚨 Getting the #CRCF right is vital for 🇪🇺 net-zero.

@bioenergyeu.bsky.social feedback calls: align w/ RED III, avoid unsustainable biomass, stronger disclosure, rethink overcompensation, clarify activity period & recognise biochar.

👉 In July, the European Commission proposed a new 2040 climate target – 90% emissions reduction vs. 1990 levels.

But behind the big headline lies a dangerous loophole.

By relying on international #CarbonCredits & unproven #CarbonRemovals, the proposal risks becoming a free pass for polluters 👇

🌳 #CarbonRemovals will be needed to reach our climate goals, but which type and how much depends on many factors

The current EU framework is not sufficient and opens the door for #greenwashing and ineffective removals

EVE TAMME | %The EU's 2040 Climate Target Proposal% With the 2040 target proposal, the EU is entering the next phase of the climate policy journey. The proposal introduces complex questions around its three flexibility mechanisms.

New blog post alert!

In this piece about the EU's 2040 climate target proposal, I'm looking deeper into the three flexibility mechanisms: international #carboncredits, #carbonremovals in the #EUETS, and flexibility between sectors.

Enjoy the read!

Denn: Zum jetzigen Zeitpunkt bergen die Methodikentwürfe der Kommission die Gefahr, dass Aktivitäten OHNE CO₂-Entnahme als legitime CO₂-Entnahme zertifiziert werden.
