The European Commission has launched the official website for its Carbon Removals and Carbon Farming (CRCF) Buyers' Club. The platform aggregates demand for certified carbon removal and farming units, aiming to create predictable offtake and stimulate private investment in these projects. The club operates on two tracks: one for permanent carbon dioxide removal and one for carbon farming. The permanent removal track covers methodologies like direct air capture with carbon storage (DACCS) and biochar carbon removal. The club plans to use EU funding to help large projects reach final investment decisions. For carbon farming, certification methodologies are expected to enter force in the third quarter of 2026. The club is using a hybrid public-private model for 2026, with buyers making final project decisions. Organizations can join the club by filling out a form on the new website. This initiative is part of the EU's broader Bioeconomy Strategy and represents a concrete step toward scaling the carbon removal market in Europe. The site provides details on how to participate in buying or selling CRCF units.
