The EDC critically needs a robust, diverse, and proactive market with a much broader base of participants than it has today.

It is a way to <strong>build their capabilities and refine their decarbonization strategies<\/strong> before the use of these credits becomes mandatory or heavily regulated. By positioning themselves now, buyers secure privileged access to high-quality CRCF-certified credits, protect themselves against future price volatility, and turn future regulatory constraints into a clear competitive advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ember438\">The Structure of the EU Buyers\u2019 Club: Key Takeaways<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Open governance:<\/strong> an initiative led by buyers and facilitated by the Commission. The lack of strict entry criteria is intended to maximize potential demand and attract a wide range of stakeholders.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Different paths:<\/strong> separate paths for permanent removals and for the <em>carbon farming<\/em>, in order to adapt to the specific needs of buyers and the various uses of loans.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>An ambitious goal for 2026:<\/strong> Europe wants to see concrete results as early as 2026. The goal is to trigger multiple final investment decisions (FIDs) for permanent removals (via five carbon credit purchase agreements for projects financed by the EU Innovation Fund) and to sign the first carbon credit purchase agreements <em>carbon farming<\/em> (with a clear model for value redistribution throughout the chain).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"ember440\">Key points still being defined:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u2753 <strong>Use cases and requirements (<\/strong><strong><em>claims<\/em><\/strong><strong>) :<\/strong> Buyers have a critical need for clarity.

The terms and timeline have yet to be determined.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u2753 <strong>Portfolio diversification:<\/strong> The focus is currently on projects supported by the\u2019<em>EU Innovation Fund<\/em> (primarily large-scale BECCS).
