On 1 December 2025 the European Commission adopted rules to implement the EU‑wide voluntary certification framework for carbon removals and carbon farming. The new Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/2358 sets transparency standards for certification schemes, appoints and supervises certification bodies, and defines audit procedures under the Carbon Removals and Carbon Farming (CRCF) Regulation. The regulation aims to create a coherent voluntary market for carbon credits that reward permanent carbon removals and climate‑positive actions in agriculture, forestry and land use. Alongside the regulation, the EU Bioeconomy Strategy announced three initiatives: an EU Buyers’ Club to signal demand, a Carbon Farming Database to streamline monitoring and verification, and a 2026 methodology for carbon storage in buildings. Certification schemes must comply with the implementing regulation and upcoming delegated acts, with recognition decisions expected in 2026.
