Significant enhancements include:

• Defining eligible CO2 sources—excluding carbon-containing substances
• Specifying qualified capture and storage techniques
• Strengthening rules for baseline scenarios and leakage determination
• Providing detailed methods for quantifying CORCs
• Elaborating on life cycle assessments
• Enhancing biomass sustainability criteria
• Improving data collection and monitoring procedures
• Fortifying risk assessment and management criteria
