Background information

4

Legal framework: Renewable Energy Directive (RED) 2009/28/EC

RED sets the legal framework for the production and promotion of renewable energy:

� Establishment of mandatory targets for the national total share of energy

from renewable resources binding throughout the European Union

� Each member state has to achieve at least 10% of their transport fuel

consumption from renewable sources (bio-fuel) by 2020

� According to the RED, biomass for final use as bio-fuel (or bio-electricity)

must be produced in a sustainable way

� RED defines requirements for production of bio-fuels

5

Consequences for Market Players

Either all mineral oil distributors blend only certified bio-fuels to their products and fulfill their obligated quotas or they have to pay high penalty taxes

Consequence: The demand within the European Union (EU 27) for certified biomass will increase in the future.

� ISCC certified products will ‘open the doors’ for increased market opportunities within the European Union

6

RED requirements for the production of Biofuels

� Sustainability

� Protection of areas with high conservation value

� Protection of areas with high carbon stock

� Protection of peat land

� Sustainable management of the farm

� Greenhouse gas emission

� Reduction of GHG emissions: >35% compared to fossil fuels

� > 50% in 2017 and > 60% in 2018

� Mass-balance system

� Traceability

� Traceability through all stages of the supply chain

ISCC system at a glance

Basic information about ISCC

Currently seven voluntary certification systems are recognized by the European Commission

� International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC)

� Roundtable of Sustainable Biofuels (RSB)

� Abengoa RED Bioenergy Sustainability Assurance (RBSA)

� 2BSvs – only partially recognized (GHG, grassland)

� Bonsucro EU – only partially recognized (GHG, grassland)

� Round Table on Responsible Soy EU RED (RTRS)

� Greenergy – only partially recognized (grassland)

� ISCC was the first international certification system that can be used to prove

sustainability and greenhouse gas savings for all kinds of biomass and liquid

bioenergy (fuel & electricity)


10


sustainability and greenhouse gas savings for all kind of biomass and liquid


� ISCC EU is recognized by the European Commission for all EU 27 member

countries without restriction. ISCC is also recognized by Germany (ISCC DE) and

the Netherlands � what does that mean?


11

With the ‘German’ version of ISCC (ISCC DE), a certified system participant

is entitled to produce, process, trade and export biomass as sustainable into

the German market.

With the ‘EU’ version of ISCC, a certified system participant is entitled to

produce, process, trade and export biomass as sustainable into all EU 27

markets.

sustainability and greenhouse gas savings for all kinds of biomass and liquid


� ISCC is recognized by the European Commission for all EU 27 member countries

without restriction. ISCC is also recognized by Germany (ISCC DE) and the

Netherlands � what does that mean?

� ISCC is a reliable proof for the compliance with the European Renewable Energy

Directive (EU RED) respectively the German Sustainability Ordinances. It is based

on experiences, cost efficient and effective


14


sustainability and greenhouse gas savings for all kinds of biomass and bioenergy







� ISCC provides an added-value to your company and thereby easing national and

international trade


15










international trade

� ISCC is a global scheme covering all kinds of biomass and is therefore applicable

on a global scale

Product certification along the value chain

SGS will issue a certificate based on a successful audit of the individual elements of the value chain

source: ISCC

22

Elements of the value chain which need to be certified

� Farms/ estates (only for ISCC EU):

� Certification of individual farm

� Certification of Farmer Group

� First Gathering Point (incl. farms under ISCC DE)

� Conversion units: Oil mills, refineries, biodiesel plants, sugar mills, ethanol plants,

etc. (incl. attached warehouses)

� Traders (ISCC DE):

� Contracts with farmers

� Traders needing access to NABISY

� Traders (ISCC EU):

� Traders with ‘attached’ warehouses/ tanks

� Traders needing access to NABISY

23

ISCC requirements for different elements of the value chain

Estates/ Farms

Compliance with Principle 1

� Principle 1: Biomass shall not be produced on land with high biodiversity value or high carbon stock. HCV areas shall be protected

� Land use change on ‘No-Go Areas’ after January 2008 leads to KO !!!

Compliance with Principle 2 - 6

� Principle 2: Biomass shall be produced in an environmentally responsible way.

� Principle 3: Safe working conditions

� Principle 4: Biomass production shall not violate human rights labor rights or land rights.

� Principle 5: Biomass production shall take place in compliance with all applicable regional and national laws and shall follow relevant international treaties

� Principle 6: Good management practices shall be implemented

24

ISCC requirements for different elements of the value chain

For First Gathering Points, Conversion Units, Traders (, Warehouses)

� Quality Management:

� Clarification of responsibilities

� Procedures for Critical Control Points

� Traceability

� Documented via delivery notes with respective traceability attributes and passed

through from one interface to the next one

� Mass balance system:

� Documentation of incoming and outgoing quantities

� GHG declaration

� Default values, Individually calculated values or grandfathering clause
