With the adoption of the world's first certification methods for permanent CO2 removal under the CRCF (Carbon Removal Certification Framework), clear standards have now been adopted to ensure that every ton of carbon removed is measurable and verifiable and delivers real climate benefits.

The EU is finally providing much-needed clarity. The rules for additionality, permanence, and quantification have been established. This means that dMRV (digital monitoring, reporting, and verification) is no longer just a "nice-to-have," but the foundation for every successful project.
