More than 500 stakeholders gathered in Brussels for the first CRCF Days, marking the operational launch of the EU's carbon removals and carbon farming market. Certification schemes can now apply for Commission recognition, while the new EU Buyers' Club, a voluntary platform coordinating demand, aims to move projects from pilot stage to large-scale deployment.

The event covered permanent removals, with methodologies for BioCCS, DACCS and biochar already adopted, and carbon farming, where methodologies for mineral soils, peatland rewetting and afforestation are nearing adoption. Farmers and foresters were identified as central to the carbon farming track.

Participants pointed to combining EU and national public funding with private investment as key to scaling projects. Several offtake agreements through the Buyers' Club are expected by end of 2026.
