Biomass certification as per ISCC

Demand for sustainable products is rising steadily, and regulatory requirements increasingly call specifically for an ecological use of resources. You want to prove that you comply with the legal sustainability requirements for biofuels and the bioenergy industry that came into force in 2011?

We certify your biomass, bioenergy and biomass-based products according to the International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC) system. The ISCC certification system can be applied to the entire value chain, from farming to the sale of biofuels and biobased products , so products can be tracked along the entire value chain.

ISCC EU applies to the entire European market. ISCC EU verifies compliance with the European Union’s legal requirements for sustainability and greenhouse gas emissions savings criteria for sustainable fuels, as well as the production of electricity, heating and cooling from biomass. ISCC EU also covers additional ecological and social requirements that go beyond the legal requirements of RED III or Renewable Energy Directive III (Directive (EU) 2023/2413).

ISCC PLUS certification allows you to document sustainability in unregulated markets. ISCC PLUS is a voluntary certification scheme designed to validate sustainability characteristics of alternative feedstocks. You can use an ISCC PLUS certification to credibly communicate to commercial and individual consumers, the public and governmental institutions that you comply with clearly defined sustainability standards.

Once we receive the information on your company we will provide a quote. If you do not require a quote, the current Schedule of Fees applies. The following audit can be performed only if you are registered with ISCC. Certification involves three separate steps:

• Audit of sustainability requirements on site
  We examine land utilization and land use changes with the help of databases and satellite images and check the system documentation.
• Mass balance verification
  We examine input and output flows as well as the reliability and sustainability of your accounting system.
• Examination of the calculation of your greenhouse gas (GHG) reductions
  We examine the ISCC's requirements for GHG calculations.

RED III or Renewable Energy Directive III (Directive (EU) 2023/2413) calls for increasing GHG reductions. At least 65% for biofuels, biogas consumed in the transport sector, and bioliquids produced in installations starting operation from 1 January 2021. For electricity, heating and cooling production from biomass fuels used in installations that started operating after 20 November 2023, at least 80%.

With our experienced experts, we are the right partner to provide neutral and transparent testing services for your biomass, bioenergy and biomass-based products.
