 Algae have a potentially significant role in climate policy: as carbon-sequestering biomass, as a low-carbon substitute for fossil-derived ingredients, and as producers of renewable energy. This chapter covers the EU Emissions Trading System, the Renewable Energy Directive's algae-specific provisions, the Carbon Removal Certification Framework, and the lifecycle greenhouse gas footprint methodology for algal production. See also [[algae:biogas_biofuels|Biogas and Biofuels]] for the bioenergy-specific rules. Algae have a potentially significant role in climate policy: as carbon-sequestering biomass, as a low-carbon substitute for fossil-derived ingredients, and as producers of renewable energy.

 __Relevance to algae:__ Marine and freshwater algae can bioaccumulate PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) and other persistent pollutants from their growing environment. Ongoing EU regulatory developments on PFAS (including potential broad restrictions under REACH) may have implications for algae products from polluted growing environments. Producers sourcing algae from environments with potential PFAS contamination should monitor regulatory developments in this area. __Relevance to algae:__ Marine and freshwater algae can bioaccumulate PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances) and other persistent pollutants from their growing environment.
