Article 6 & CRCF

Regulated carbon units, aligned with your environmental goals

Sovereign-linked ITMOs under Article 6 and EU-certified removal units under the CRCF require both robust legal structuring and access to the right markets. ClimeFi has helped pioneer these markets through several landmark transactions
The opportunity

Where voluntary markets meet regulation

Article 6 of the Paris Agreement enables the regulated transfer of mitigation outcomes between countries, with corresponding adjustments that give buyers sovereign-grade integrity. The EU's CRCF creates the first regulator-backed certification standard for permanent carbon removals in Europe.

Both bring compliance-grade credibility to corporate portfolios — and both require navigating host-country authorisations, certification processes and bespoke contracting that standard voluntary-market procurement doesn't cover.

Track record

Two market firsts, structured by ClimeFi

First CRCF transaction
