Article 2 – paragraph 1 – point a
(a) ‘carbon removal’ means either the storage of atmospheric or biogenic carbon within geologicallithospheric carbon pools, biogenic carbon pools, long-lasting products and materials, and the marine environment, or the reduction of carbon release from a biogenic carbon pool to the atmosphere;

Article 2 – paragraph 1 – point b
Article 2 – paragraph 1 – point b
(b) ‘carbon removal activity’ means one or more practices or processes carried out by an operator resulting in permanent carbon storage, enhancing carbon capture in a biogenic carbon pool, reducing the release of carbon from a biogenic carbon pool to the atmosphere, or storing atmospheric or biogenic carbon in long- lasting products or materials;
Amendment 403 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 2 – paragraph 1 – point g
Article 2 – paragraph 1 – point g
(g) ‘permanent carbon storage’ means a carbon removal activity that, under normal circumstances and using appropriate management practices, stores atmospheric or biogenic carbon for several centuries, including bioenergy with carbon capture and storage, biochar carbon removal and direct air carbon capture and storage;

Proposal for a regulation
Article 2 – paragraph 1 – point o a (new)
Article 2 – paragraph 1 – point o a (new)
(oa) ‘biochar carbon removal’ means a process, where rather labile organic molecules are thermo-chemically transformed into an inert form, collectively called biochar, and safely stored in a permanent manner.

Amendment 527 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 4 – paragraph 5
Article 4 – paragraph 5
5. The baseline shall correspond to the standard carbon removal performance of common current practices of comparable activities in similar social, economic, environmental and technological circumstances and take into account the geographical context. The respective methodologies shall differentiate between static or dynamic baselines where necessary.
Amendment 571 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 5 – paragraph 1 – point b
Article 5 – paragraph 1 – point b
(b) it takes place due to the incentive effect of the certification and creation of carbon removal units.
Amendment 603 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 6 – paragraph 2 – point a
Article 6 – paragraph 2 – point a
(a) they shall monitor and mitigate any risk of release of the stored carbon occurring during the monitoring period; or provide sound scientific evidence, that a reversal of a solid form (e.g. carbonates or biochar) of carbon to CO2 is prevented.
Amendment 621 #
Proposal for a regulation
Article 6 – paragraph 3
Article 6 – paragraph 3
3. For carbon farming and carbon storage in products, the carbon stored by a carbon removal activity shall be considered released to the atmosphere at the end of the monitoring period. This does not apply if the carbon is bound permanently in a mineral matrix (concrete) or in soil from which it cannot be separated or released.
Amendment 788 #
Proposal for a regulation
