Carbon farming projects in Europe

12 developers, active in 13 EU countries, 3 of them with units issued in a public registry. Every entry has at least one piece of evidence that does not come from the developer. Most recent check 2026-10-07.

What it is

Farmers change how they manage land so that it holds more carbon, for example with cover crops, less tillage or trees on farmland. Rewetting drained peatland works differently: it stops the peat from breaking down and releasing CO₂.

For buyers, in short

CRCF unit	Carbon farming sequestration for soil carbon, agroforestry and woody crops. Soil emission reduction for peatland rewetting.
CRCF methodology	Adopted Carbon farming, soils: Delegated Regulation C(2026)4666, adopted 10 Jul 2026. Scrutiny by Parliament and Council, then Official Journal, then in force 20 days later. Adopted Peatland rewetting: Delegated Regulation C(2026)4666, adopted 10 Jul 2026. Scrutiny by Parliament and Council, then Official Journal, then in force 20 days later.
Certified CRCF units today	None. No certification scheme has been recognised yet, so no project can carry a CRCF unit today.
SBTi net-zero	Removals are the only credit type the SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard V2.0 accepts for neutralising residual emissions (criterion C46). Peatland rewetting creates soil emission reduction units. They are not removals, so they do not count for neutralisation.
CSRD reporting	Under ESRS E1-7 (Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/2772), removals and credits are disclosed separately. Gross Scope 1 to 3 stays unadjusted, credits are not netted against it. A simplified version of the ESRS is in progress.
Price range	€35 per tonne on average across all methods, with agricultural projects priced above forestry ones (Label Bas-Carbone, France only). No independent, current price source for carbon farming elsewhere in Europe was found. Source: I4CE, Six years of carbon certification in France: an assessment of the Label Bas-Carbone, June 2025. Indicative, not an offer. Prices depend on contract length, volume, delivery date, whether units are already issued or sold ahead, the registry and scarcity. No CRCF unit has been issued yet, so no CRCF price exists.

Status is our own three-step scale, not EU terminology. Developer-stated means the developer says it; Registry-verified means we found issued units in a public registry. How this list is compiled

Before you buy

Which unit are you buying? Soil carbon and peatland rewetting sit on the same page but are different CRCF units, and only the removal counts for neutralisation.
Are the units issued after verified results or in advance? The CRCF issues units only after a certification audit has confirmed the result.
How long is the activity monitored, and what happens if carbon is released again? The CRCF certifies carbon farming over a defined activity period of at least five years.
