The buyer’s guide to 2027: Decoding the rules rewiring carbon removal demand

​Policy and standards for carbon removal are moving quickly. The EU’s Carbon Removal Certification Framework is finalizing its methodologies. The UK is issuing Contracts for Difference for durable removals. SBTi’s Corporate Net-Zero Standard v2.0 will require removal credits by 2035. And CORSIA’s compliance phase is creating new baseline demand.

​Yet market data shows most companies with 2030 targets have not bought a single tonne of removal.

​This session works as a practical buyer’s guide. What do these overlapping frameworks actually require, in what order, and by when? The panel translates the rulebook into a purchasing decision, closing the gap between frameworks on paper and money on the table.

​What we’ll cover:

• ​Overview of the framework landscape and what they mean for buyers

• ​How the frameworks overlap, and which requirements come first

• ​Key deadlines between now and 2035

• ​Why most companies with 2030 targets haven’t bought removals yet

• ​How to turn regulatory requirements into a procurement plan
