Regulation gaps and inconsistent third-party verification undermine the current self-regulated CO2 market, enabling low-quality carbon credits and diminishing the viability of high-quality, permanent removals.
In light of these conditions, C-SINK aims to build a standardised and transparent European Carbon Dioxide Removal (CDR) market with trustworthy accounting methodologies based on robust Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (MRV) pre-standards and policy strategies. Comprehensive scientific assessments will be made of the various CDR approaches, in terms of (a) their potential uptake of CO2, and (b) their safety and other impacts.
This upcoming Clustering Event will bring together leading EU-funded projects, policymakers, researchers, and industry representatives to explore synergies and accelerate innovation in carbon dioxide removal (CDR). Hosted by ICAMCYL, this one-day meeting will highlight the main outcomes of the C-SINK project and foster collaboration across the CDR ecosystem.
The agenda features contributions from the European Commission (CINEA, DG CLIMA), as well as key sister projects such as UPTAKE, SEAO2-CDR, CREDIBLE, and LIFE Carbon Farming. Thematic sessions will address pressing challenges in CDR technologies, policy, and market design, including robust MRV systems, carbon credit integrity, and pathways for investable and permanent removals. Through presentations, discussions, and networking opportunities, participants will collectively advance EU efforts toward scalable, verifiable, and just carbon removal solutions.
