Second assessment of the draft technical specifications for certification under the EU CRCF

This document provides an assessment of the draft elements for an EU certification meth-odology on carbon farming under the CRCF regulation for the activity type peatland restora-tion through rewetting, published in April 2025.

Overall, the methodology, in its current form, deviates from important principles of carbon crediting and does not comply with the quality criteria established by the IC-VCM. There is a high risk for over-crediting of emission reductions or removals.
