Abstract

The EU has proposed a voluntary framework for certification of carbon removals which remains vague on blue carbon and in particular, carbon removal through use of seaweeds. Seaweed is considered an emerging blue carbon option. Various studies have confirmed the potential of seaweed to contribute to long‐term carbon removal, storing it away from the atmosphere for 100 years and more. Certification of seaweed carbon sequestration is promoted, even in other EU communications. This article reviews early experiences with certification of carbon and nutrient removal by aquaculture using the QU.A.L.ITY criteria proposed by the EU. Examples reviewed include the Seaweed Company, Venice Bay, Yokohama Bayside marine, and Chesapeake Bay in the USA. After reviewing these examples, we call on the European Commission to move forward towards certification of blue carbon. If the EU is to lead global climate mitigation efforts, including carbon removal, it should take seaweed blue carbon seriously and include it in its voluntary framework. To enhance the awareness of the relevance and the acceptance of the carbon credits from seaweed, a methodology has to be developed that, building on experiences gained, deals with inherent uncertainties.
将海藻中的蓝碳纳入自愿除碳认证的时间
欧盟提出了一个自愿的碳去除认证框架,该框架在蓝碳,特别是通过使用海藻去除碳方面仍然模糊不清。海藻被认为是一种新兴的蓝碳选择。各种研究证实了海藻有助于长期去除碳的潜力,可以将其储存在远离大气的地方100年 年甚至更长时间。海藻固碳认证得到了推广,甚至在其他欧盟通信中也是如此。本文回顾了使用欧盟提出的QU.A.L.ITY标准认证水产养殖去除碳和营养物的早期经验。审查的例子包括美国的海藻公司、威尼斯湾、横滨湾和切萨皮克湾。在审查了这些例子后,我们呼吁欧盟委员会推进蓝碳认证。如果欧盟要领导全球气候缓解工作,包括碳去除,它应该认真对待海藻蓝碳,并将其纳入其自愿框架。为了提高人们对海藻碳信用的相关性和可接受性的认识,必须制定一种方法,以所获得的经验为基础,处理固有的不确定性。

期刊介绍: EuroChoices is a full colour, peer reviewed, outreach journal of topical European agri-food and rural resource issues, published three times a year in April, August and December. Its main aim is to bring current research and policy deliberations on agri-food and rural resource issues to a wide readership, both technical & non-technical. The need for this is clear - there are great changes afoot in the European and global agri-food industries and rural areas, which are of enormous impact and concern to society. The issues which underlie present deliberations in the policy and private sectors are complex and, until now, normally expressed in impenetrable technical language.
