Last week, our Construction Stored Carbon lead Sacha was in Brussels to attend the EU Expert Group on Carbon Removals. Under the Carbon Removals and Carbon Farming (CRCF) Regulation, the EU will enforce certification methodologies for permanent carbon removals (1), carbon farming (2) and carbon storage in (building) products (3). These methodologies are developed in…

To maximise the amount of carbon your store in a biobased building, it is key to calculate the carbon storage of different designs quickly, easily and accurately. Having an accurate and understandable calculation method also enables everyone in the value chain, from developer to tendering municipality, to set clear goals. These two worlds, of design and goal-setting,…
