SBP – Sustainable Biomass Program

Sustainable Biomass Program (SBP) は、発電にバイオマスを使用する主要な欧州の電力会社が設立したプログラムで、エネルギー用途における持続可能な木材バイオマスの認証を行うものです。 SBPは、バイオマスの生産者から始まる認証のため、これまで主に使われていた森林認証（FSCやPEFCなど）に加えて、持続可能性を証明する新たな選択肢となっています。 Control Union Certifications BVは、このスキームにおいてANABから認定を受けています。

    About the program

    The goal of the SBP is to comply with the legal, regulatory and sustainability requirements in the European Union. The SBP framework offers a more holistic approach in its requirements and focuses on the implementation of current developments in society. Special attention is given to social compliance, land use change and biodiversity.

    Scope

    SBP covers the whole supply chain from forest to consumer. The framework is a mill centralised certification scheme, which differs from forest centralised certification schemes. However, if the sourcing area is already certified, obtaining SBP approval for products is relatively easy.
