Bioenergy Europe Backs Clearer Rules for Green Claims & Carbon Removals

Bioenergy Europe has joined a coalition of 33 organizations to support the EU Green Claims Directive, which aims to establish clearer rules for carbon dioxide removal (CDR) and credible climate claims. The coalition emphasizes the importance of enabling businesses to invest in CDR before achieving net-zero. Their priorities include applying the Like-for-Like principle for offsetting fossil fuel emissions with permanent removals and ensuring that only high-quality carbon removal credits are used in compensation claims. This well-balanced directive aims to combat greenwashing while fostering the development of a €220 billion carbon removal industry.
