Brussels, 26/01/2026 (Agence Europe) – On Monday 26 January, the European Commission launched a public consultation to gather opinions on the proposed certification methodologies for carbon farming activities, in particular on a draft delegated act. These activities include practices that help to store more carbon in forests and soils and can provide additional income for farmers and forest owners. In 2024, the EU introduced its first EU-wide voluntary framework for certifying carbon removals, carbon farming activities, and carbon storage in products. The consultation will remain open until 19 February. The proposed rules will be examined at the next meeting of the Carbon Removal Expert Group on 5 February.
