What does the EU legal framework mean for carbon farming? What should Bulgarian farmers know?
In an exclusive interview for the publication “The Voice of the Farmer,” Velislava Nenova – legal advisor at Carbonsafe™ – discussed Bulgaria’s role in the European regulatory landscape, the need for clarity in the certification of carbon credits, and expectations surrounding the EU’s upcoming legal framework.
Main Highlights:
🔹 The legal uncertainty surrounding carbon credits in Europe is about to be addressed through new regulations that will ensure unified requirements and transparency for all stakeholders. With the adoption of Regulation (EU) 2024/3012, the EU is creating an official certification framework that will grant recognition to carbon units on the European market—strictly aligned with criteria for quality and traceability.
🔹 Bulgaria has a real opportunity to become an active player in the carbon market through well-structured programs like Carbonsafe™, which meet the criteria of quality—measurability, additionality, permanence, and traceability.
🔹 Registration, traceability, and a scientific foundation are the key elements that can protect farmers and enable them to participate confidently in the voluntary market.
🔹 Carbon credits are not just a product for sale—they are becoming a tool for accessing green finance, new markets, and stronger positioning in sustainable supply chains.
