Actions required to secure the large-scale deployment of the leading CDR approaches to meet EU climate targets

大气中二氧化碳浓度不断上升，目前约为420ppm，已经在全球范围内造成了广泛的破坏。因此，迫切需要大规模部署二氧化碳去除技术（CDR），以帮助将气温上升控制在2摄氏度以下（1.5摄氏度更好）。直到最近，除了针对一系列广泛方法的学术研究之外，在未来几十年推动CDR必要的指数级增长方面，几乎没有什么行动。目前的自我监管市场依赖于不令人满意的拼凑的第三方核查，这些核查是在个别地点完成的。由于缺乏监管和高质量标准，该行业受到了负面影响。这使得低质量的碳信用额得以进入市场，将信誉和价格降至高质量的永久清除无法竞争的水平。成员国需要欧共体进行干预，以启动一个透明和适当监管的高等级CDR交付市场。C-SINK项目的目的是向欧盟委员会提供一套完整的提案，以支持新的或修订的欧洲法律/监管框架，将高质量的cdr带入市场。该包将包含预标准（CEN格式），涵盖抽样、测试和质量管理体系（ISO9000）的要求和方法，并以此为基础建立监测、报告和验证系统。它还将包括涵盖(a)环境、社会影响和治理问题的建议，以及(b)在市场中建立信任的方法。这将鼓励企业家展示有效和安全的CDR项目，并进行大规模投资，从而使市场能够发展以应对气候危机。C-SINK联盟包括来自11个国家的组织，他们在不同的CDR技术、CEN和ISO标准的编写、气候法、碳交易以及所有相关的环境和社会问题方面具有互补的技能和专业知识。

The rising concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere, currently about 420 ppm, is already causing extensive damage globally. Thus, there ´s an urgent need to deploy CO2 removal (CDR) at very large scale to help to keep the temperature rise under 2C° (1.5C° would be better). Until recently, apart from academic research into a wide portfolio of approaches, little has been done to launch the necessary exponential growth of CDR over the next few decades. The current self-regulated market relies on an unsatisfactory patchwork of third party verification of the removals achieved at individual sites. The sector has been negatively influenced by a lack of regulation and high-quality standards. This has allowed low-quality carbon credits to enter the market, lowering credibility and prices to levels at which high-quality permanent removals cannot compete. The Member States need the EC to intervene to kick-start a transparent and properly regulated market for high-grade CDR delivery. The purpose of the C-SINK project is to deliver to the EC a complete package of worked up proposals to support a new or amended European legal/regulatory framework to bring high quality CDRs into the market. That package will contain pre-standards (in CEN format) covering requirements and methodologies for sampling, testing and QMS (ISO9000) upon which to build monitoring, reporting and verification systems. It will also include proposals to cover (a) environmental, social-impact and governance issues, and (b) the means of building trust in the market. This will encourage entrepreneurs to demonstrate effective and safe CDR projects and to make large investments, thus allowing the market to evolve to tackle the climate crisis. The C-SINK consortium includes organizations from 11 countries with complementary skills and expertise in the different CDR technologies, the writing of CEN and ISO standards, climate law, carbon trading, and in all of the relevant environmental and social issues.
