The importance of certifications in the bioenergy sector

Certifications in the bioenergy sector are key to demonstrating the sustainability of biofuels and renewable fuels for the transportation sector, as well as energy produced from biomass. These certifications ensure that the supply chain, from raw materials to finished products, meets stringent environmental standards in accordance with the European Renewable Energy Directives ( Renewable Energy Directive.).

Obtaining certification, whether in accordance with the Italian National Scheme (NIS), ISCC, 2BSVS or other Voluntary Schemes recognized by the European Commission, has become essential for companies wishing to comply with national and European legislation, expanding their business and accessing international markets.

Certification schemes in the bioenergy sector

In the bioenergy certification landscape, there are several nationally and internationally recognized schemes. They allow certification of the following renewable energy carrier chains such as:

Biofuels and biofuels from biomass
biogas and biomethane
renewable fuels of non-organic origin
fuels from recycled carbon
sustainable aviation fuels (SAF)
marine biofuels (marine fuels)
biomass energy

The most common in Italy is the Italian National Scheme (NIS), which establishes standards for the production and use of renewable energy carriers consistent with the country’s sustainability goals.

Voluntary Schemes, on the other hand, are recognized by the European Commission, ensuring access to markets in EU countries. Among the most widely used are the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) scheme and the Biomass Biofuels Sustainability Voluntary Scheme (2BSVS).

All of the Schemes focus on sustainability along the entire supply chain, from feedstock to final product, ensuring that biofuels meet sustainability criteria established at the community level.

Each certification scheme has specific requirements, and choosing the one best suited to your needs and managed materials is critical to getting the maximum benefit from your investment in sustainability.
