Getting ahead of carbon removal regulation in Europe—implications for your CDR strategy

Across the European Union, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom, carbon removal has so far taken shape primarily through voluntary corporate action. That voluntary momentum is now being met by a new phase of policy engagement. Governments are introducing carbon removal certification systems, voluntary carbon market guidance, and disclosure requirements to reinforce trust in voluntary markets while deliberately preparing the ground for future compliance driven demand. Together, these developments mark a shift from experimentation toward a more durable market foundation in which voluntary leadership and regulation evolve side by side. 

In this 40‑minute recording, Molly Tinker, Head of Carbon Markets at Climeworks walks through the latest policy developments shaping carbon removal markets in Europe.
