Biochar “must be part of the solution” for EU ETS carbon removals, lead MEP says

A widely cited benchmark calling for around 10 billion tonnes of durable CO2 removal (CDR) annually by 2050 has become detached from the scientific evidence on which it is purportedly based, according to a new study that argues climate policy should place greater emphasis on emissions reductions and present CDR requirements alongside the mitigation pathways that generate them.

Peru has recognised four additional carbon crediting standards and seven methodologies under its National Registry of Mitigation Measures (RENAMI), broadening the range of eligible mitigation activities under the Paris Agreement’s Article 6 mechanisms.
Read MoreCDR should be treated as public infrastructure, researchers say
Carbon removal (CDR) should be treated as essential public infrastructure rather than primarily as a tradable commodity, with compliance markets, public mandates, and public investment used to support community ownership, according to a new study.
