Carbon credits from farmland and forests

Rules written on the European CRCF. We guarantee the path from the first measurement to the sale of the credit.

Climate Standard writes the documents that apply EU rules to carbon credits from farmland and forests, and keeps the public registry.

Why now

  1. 01

    For 2030 the European Union has set a target: in that year, land and forests must remove 310 million tonnes of CO2 from the air more than they emit.

    Regulation (EU) 2023/839 (opens in a new tab)

  2. 02

    With current measures, EU countries remain below this target, according to the European Commission's projections.

  3. 03

    The CRCF, Regulation (EU) 2024/3012, is the EU framework for certifying carbon removed from the air and reduced emissions from agricultural soils. The European Commission adopted the EU methodologies for agriculture and new forests on 9 July 2026.

  4. 04

    Climate Standard guarantees the method: every new project in the four activities follows Climate Standard's methodologies, written on the EU CRCF methodologies.

Climate Standard is awaiting CRCF recognition.
