Paris Climate Agreement
Klimaatakkoord van Parijs
Two-framework evaluation · independent scoring
↯ Two-framework dissonance — CRCF assessment differs from EU Biomass Strategy assessment. The asymmetry is the signal, not a defect.
Who benefits, concretely
Construction contractors
| Policy | Benefit | Concrete value | Eligibility | What to do | Deadline |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Paris Climate Agreement Other scope | Tender score bonus [PLACEHOLDER — partner curator review pending] Klimaatakkoord-linked public procurement increasingly attaches a biobased / circular bonus weight in tender scoring. Contractors who specify documented biobased materials win evaluation points. | Variable by aanbestedende dienst | Any contractor tendering on a procuring authority that has adopted the bonus weight. | Map each tender's MVI (Maatschappelijk Verantwoord Inkopen) criteria; document biobased share + EPDs at submission. | ongoing |
Material producers
| Policy | Benefit | Concrete value | Eligibility | What to do | Deadline |

| Paris Climate Agreement Other scope | Carbon credit eligibility [PLACEHOLDER — partner curator review pending] Once a biobased material qualifies as a Carbon Storage Product (CRCF bucket c, ≥35-yr storage), its biogenic carbon becomes eligible for CRCF-aligned credit issuance via ONCRA or comparable certifier. | Pending CRCF/ONCRA pathway | Materials meeting CRCF Carbon Storage Product criteria (≥35 yr durability + documented end-of-life). | Engage ONCRA or another CRCF-accredited certifier; complete methodology validation before issuing credits. | ongoing |
Legally binding international treaty on climate change. To limit warming to 1.5C, greenhouse gas emissions must peak by 2025 and decrease 43% by 2030. Biobased building materials sequester CO2 during growth and can contribute to national CO2 ambitions.
