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.
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 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.
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.
GGL – Green Gold Label
The Green Gold Label scheme is designed to provide assurances that sourced biomass products are from a sustainable source. Control Union Certifications BV is accredited by RVA for this scheme under registration nr. RvA-C412 Products.
SBP – Sustainable Biomass Program
The Sustainable Biomass Program (SBP) was founded by major European utilities that use biomass in power plants to certify sustainable wood biomass for energy use. Certification starts at the biomass producer, making forest certification no longer the only way to proof sustainability compliance. Control Union Certifications BV is accredited by ANAB for this scheme.
CCS – Content Claim Standard
The CCS (Content Claim Standard) provides companies with a tool to verify the content of specific input materials. Each organisation along the supply chain is checked by an independent third party. Any type of input material may be claimed. The CCS is the foundation for all of Textile Exchange’s chain of custody standards. Control Union Certifications BV is accredited by SLAB for this scheme under registration nr. CP 004-01. CU Inspections & Certifications India Pvt Ltd is accredited by IOAS for the scope of product certification. Contract Number: 81.
PEFC – Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification
Responsible and sustainable forest management has become a vital issue during the past decades. Inadequate and improper forest management practices are threatening the long-term viability of many forests. Control Union Certifications BV is accredited by RVA for this scheme under registration nr. RvA-C412 Products. The scope includes the critical office in Sri Lanka.
