CRCF Certification Methodology – Carbon Sequestration in Agricultural Soils

Two-framework evaluation · independent scoring

CRCF (certification)Aligned
EU Biomass Strategy (allocation)Not aligned

↯ Two-framework dissonance — CRCF assessment differs from EU Biomass Strategy assessment. The asymmetry is the signal, not a defect.

Type: REGULATION
Scope: EU · EU
Status: PROPOSED
Responsible agency: European Commission

Forthcoming CRCF methodology covering carbon sequestration in agricultural soils, including peatland restoration, tree planting, agroforestry and soil management. Public consultation ran 22 January–19 February 2026; expected adoption by end of April 2026.
