Support for operators in the sustainable marine fuel value chain
International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) is a globally applicable sustainability certification system, which covers all sustainable feedstocks, including agricultural and forestry biomass, bio-based and circular materials and renewables.
ISCC offers several sustainability schemes for energy, such as ISCC EU and ISCC PLUS. ISCC EU is recognised by the EU Commission to validate sustainability criteria in fuel. The scheme’s extensive measures will check-off the end-to-end needs in maintaining credible sustainability practices along its supply chain. With the ISCC EU recognised under the EU’s revised Renewable Energy Directive (“RED III”) as well as other major energy markets, the certification is set to play a major role under the FuelEU Maritime regulation, among others, and beyond.
Why choose ISCC Certification to help achieve Maritime sustainability goals?
The approach of ISCC schemes encapsulates critical aspects, which work in tandem with the EU regulatory adherence and associated documentary requirements such as:
- Lifecycle Assessment: Examines emissions at production, use, and end.
- Proof of Sustainability (PoS) Documents: Provides supporting documentation to validate that Biofuels batches are traceable to their sustainable feedstocks.
- Annual Audits: Includes annual audits to ensure compliance with sustainability standards.
Sustainable marine fuels covered under ISCC Certification include:
- Biofuels (such as FAME, bio-methanol and other liquid fuels for the transport sector produced from bio-based feedstocks)
- Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO)
- Recycled Carbon Fuels (RCF)
