Conceptual architecture and design of a CRCF registry and marketplace and workflows

Through the CRCF, the European Commission will regulate how carbon farming activities must be carried out, monitored, verified, and certified. The regulation also defines how operators can generate carbon credits and how these credits can be used for sustainability claims. A key component of the CRCF is the establishment of a Union Registry, which serves as the single source of truth for the CRCF ecosystem. Within the CAFAMORE project, a prototype infrastructure is being developed that includes such a CRCF registry for carbon farming activities, together with a marketplace for trading units. This deliverable describes the initial design of this infrastructure and serves as the foundation for its implementation during the remainder of the project.
