ISCC Japan FIT
The Japan Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) sets out a system of incentives for the production of renewable electricity in Japan which includes subsidies for the procurement of a number of materials eligible as biomass fuels. Japan’s Ministry for Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) has set out specific requirements for the certification of those materials under the FIT system. The ISCC Japan FIT standard incorporates these requirements so that materials certified under this standard will be eligible under Japan’s FIT system.
About ISCC Japan FIT Certification
The Japanese Government recognises ISCC certification to verify compliance with the sustainability requirements for biofuels. Japan’s fuel policy allows ethanol based on Brazilian sugarcane, as well as US corn as raw materials designated for domestic biofuel production.
-
The ISCC scheme is applicable under the Japan FIT scheme that obligates electricity producers in Japan to purchase power from renewable sources (e.g. biomass, wind, solar) at fixed prices for a specified period of time.
-
It is globally applicable for economic operators producing, processing, and trading the eligible materials that are destined for use towards power generation in Japan.
Market / Scope of Application
Biomass and agricultural residues for energy production in Japan

ISCC CORSIA
ISCC is already widely known as a leading voluntary scheme recognised under the EU Renewable Energy Directive, with a focus on fuels for road and rail transport. The ISCC scheme is now also eligible for Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF), as it meets the requirements of CORSIA, which has been setup by the ICAO.

ISCC PLUS
ISCC Plus is a thorough basis for the voluntary implementation of sustainability criteria in supply chains which are similar to the EU RED. Companies with an existing ISCC-EU certificate are able to extend to ISCC PLUS during the certificate validity period and benefit this way from the additional possibilities an ISCC PLUS certification offers in market applications outside the EU fuel market.

ISCC – Certified Biomass and Bioenergy
The ISCC EU is the first and leading voluntary scheme based on the European Renewable Energy Directive (RED), covering the environmental and social aspects of biomass production. It is compatible with other RED schemes. In the supply chain, traceability is key to assuring the diligence of the system.
