The Climate Leadership Coalition (CLC) calls for the urgent integration of permanent carbon dioxide removals (CDR)—such as BECCS, DACCS, and biochar—into the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). The policy brief outlines how this move would create a predictable investment environment, accelerate project development, and help meet the EU’s net-zero and post-2050 carbon removal needs. It recommends a compliance market for CDR, clear certification standards, and separate EU-level targets for permanent and non-permanent removals starting in 2035.
