The conditions outlined in Article 6(1) of the provisional CRCF regulation can be translated into eligibility requirements, specifying that only biogenic carbon storage within structural construction elements and insulation materials can be certified. Experts have emphasised that the substantial potential for biogenic carbon storage in renovation and retrofit projects for biobased insulation materials are eligible for certification.
There are multiple proven certification methodologies present like BBCA, SNK, ONCRA and the Timber Finance Initiative to promote carbon removal activities.
The policies for Switzerland are yet to be confirmed and the information provided is from previous discussions, expert inputs, and analyses of existing methodologies given in the provisional agreement on the CRCF regulation.
