International Sustainability and Carbon Certification EU

ISCC EU is a voluntary certification scheme recognised by the European Commission under the EU Renewable Energy Directive (RED II and RED III). It provides a globally applicable system to verify compliance with sustainability and GHG requirements for renewable energy supply chains.

ISCC EU applies to a wide range of materials, including:

• Biomass and biofuels

• Waste and residues

• Bioliquids and renewable fuels

• Agricultural and forestry feedstocks

The certification covers the entire supply chain, from Point of Origin (PoO) to processing, trading, storage, and final fuel production.

ISCC EU is built around core sustainability and climate criteria, including:

Sustainability Criteria

• Protection of land with high biodiversity value

• No conversion of high carbon stock areas

• Compliance with environmental and social requirements

• Respect for human rights and labor standards

Traceability and Mass Balance

• Full traceability of materials across the supply chain

• Mass balance system to ensure integrity of certified volumes

• Prevention of double counting and fraud

Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions

• Calculation and verification of GHG emissions

• Demonstration of minimum GHG savings

• Transparent documentation of carbon performance

Legal and Regulatory Compliance

• Compliance with EU RED requirements

• Alignment with national and international regulations

These elements ensure that certified materials genuinely contribute to climate mitigation and sustainable energy transition.
