New Paper Examines How An EU CDR Buyers’ Club Could Drive Demand In This Region

Carbon Gap and Carbon Management Europe have published a new paper examining how an EU CDR Buyers’ Club could help scale carbon dioxide removal projects across Europe by aggregating corporate demand. The report argues that the main barrier facing European CDR projects is not a lack of capital, but insufficient long-term purchasing commitments needed to secure private financing. The paper explores potential design options for the Buyers’ Club, including regulatory frameworks, procurement models, geographic scope, and buyer commitments. It identifies the EU’s Carbon Removals and Carbon Farming Regulation (CRCF) as the most credible foundation for the initiative. The proposed Buyers’ Club would function as a coordination platform supporting market development rather than replacing existing project developers or financial institutions.
