Carbon farming innovation and scale-up

In short

This is a Research and Innovation Action under Horizon Europe. The budget is €12 million for about 2 grants of €6 million each. It is paid as a lump sum, so you report results instead of costs. Submission opens on 20 April 2027. Deadline: 23 September 2027. Startups and SMEs can apply.

What the call wants to achieve

• models, methods and data needed for the quantification of carbon farming activities and results are available for integration in a single monitoring, reporting and verification (MRV) system, so that the costs and burden associated to carbon farming MRV are reduced to a minimum
• use of carbon-removal and emission-reduction certification is facilitated at scale, and the EU Carbon Removals and Carbon Farming (CRCF) Regulation [1] becomes the basis for cost-effective certification of carbon farming in different contexts
• carbon farming actors involved in CRCF implementation in different roles - including land managers and other market participants as well as certification and governance bodies - have access to relevant scientific knowledge and tailored technical support for the implementation of CRCF rules.
