Consultation Responses – 5th meeting of the Carbon Removals Expert Group

In April 2024, the European Parliament approved the preliminary agreement of the Carbon Removal Certification Framework (CRCF). Building on this, the 5^th meeting of the Carbon Removals Expert Group took place between the 21^s^t and 23^rd of October 2024. Ahead of the expert group meeting, detailed documentation and proposed methodologies were shared, divided into three different streams:

Permanent carbon removals, namely Direct Air Carbon Capture and Storage (DACCS), Biogenic Carbon Capture and Storage (BioCCS) and biochar, covered in Day 1.
Carbon farming with Agriculture, Peatland and Forestry, covered on Day 2.
Long-lasting biogenic carbon storage in buildings and rules on third-party verification and certification schemes, covered on Day 3.

Bellona participated in the Expert Group meeting and subsequently submitted three consultation responses on the proposed methodologies.
