# SBTi 2035 Removals Requirement Calculator | CRBN.credit **URL:** https://crbn.credit/removals-planner **Summary:** Estimate the carbon removals your company would need each year under the SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard V2.0, from 2035 to your net-zero year. --- Free tool, no account # Plan your carbon removal requirement under SBTi V2.0 Under the SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard V2.0, published on 11 June 2026, carbon credits cannot count toward emissions targets, and Category A companies must support carbon removals from 2035, starting at 1% of ongoing emissions and rising in a straight line to 100% by their net-zero year. Enter your emissions and targets to see the yearly volume. The Standard labels the 2035 requirement illustrative and will review it in its next version. Nothing you enter is stored. ## Questions ### Can carbon credits count toward my SBTi targets? No. Under V2.0, progress on scope 1, 2 and 3 targets is measured on your own emissions inventory. Purchased removals and credits count only toward the voluntary Ongoing Emissions Responsibility recognition and, from 2035, the removal requirement, and one outcome cannot be used for both. ### When does the removal requirement start? In 2035, for Category A companies. Category A is a company with net turnover of EUR 450 million or more or 1,000 or more employees anywhere, or, in a high-income country, scope 1 and 2 emissions of 10,000 tCO2e or more or two of: EUR 25 million balance sheet, EUR 50 million turnover, 250 employees. For Category B companies it is optional. ### What counts as an eligible removal? A carbon removal that delivers a verified outcome in tCO2e in the same reporting period as the emissions it covers and meets the Standard's integrity criteria (CNZS-C42). From 2035 a minimum share must be long-lived removals, starting at 10% of covered long-lived emissions and reaching 100% by the net-zero year. ### What is Ongoing Emissions Responsibility? A voluntary SBTi recognition programme for companies that take responsibility for emissions they have not yet cut, at any level from 1% to 100%. It stays optional until 2035, when the removal requirement begins for Category A companies. ### Is this an SBTi validation? No. It applies the Standard's published rules to the numbers you enter. The Standard itself calls the 2035 requirement illustrative and will review it in Version 3. Related: the [compliance calendar](https://crbn.credit/calendar) has the SBTi dates, the [green claims checker](https://crbn.credit/claim-checker) covers what you can say about removals you buy, and every project page carries a [Credit Passport](https://crbn.credit/credit-passport). Rules read from the Standard on 25 September 2026. General information based on the SBTi Corporate Net-Zero Standard V2.0. It is not advice and not an SBTi validation.
