In November 2022, the European Commission presented a proposal for a Carbon Removal Certification Framework (CRCF). It is founded on a dangerous gamble: that carbon-farming activities, trees, wood products
and as-yet-unproven technological approaches can be relied on to remove carbon from the atmosphere and “permanently” store it. Misleadingly titled the carbon removal certification framework, the proposal also allows agricultural activities that purport to reduce methane and nitrous oxide emissions from the agriculture industry to
be used to balance out fossil carbon released into the atmosphere.
