Etacarinae S.r.l.
By keeping abreast of developments in legislation and the bioenergy market, Etacarinae has quickly established itself as a world leader in sustainability management.
Our challenge and major commitment is to provide the best support to the biofuels and bioliquids supply chain:
- Ensuring complete and detailed traceability of biofuels and bioliquids in the national and international market.
- By following the development of new technologies and feedstocks, so as to be able to provide the best service in the current regulatory and economic context;
- By liaising and mediating between companies, certification bodies and Italian and European public authorities, to ensure compliance with sustainability requirements for all products marketed in the EU and non-EU markets.
Sustainability
The last decades have seen the European Union increasingly committed to sustainability, especially with regard to internal energy policies.
In the energy sector, since 2009, the Renewable Energy Directive requires that at least 20 per cent of the energy produced and used in the European Union comes from renewable sources. To achieve this target, a key role is played by the use of renewable raw materials for the production of sustainable biofuels and bioliquids as energy and heat resources, as alternatives to fossil fuels.
Only biofuels and bioliquids that comply with Directive 2009/28/EC (RED) can access government support programmes and/or contribute to each member country’s mandatory greenhouse gas emission reduction target.
Close control over the entire supply chain is of paramount importance to fulfil the requirements of the RED directive. A complete and detailed traceability of raw materials, intermediate products, by-products, and waste is key to guarantee a real reduction of CO2 emissions.
At the same time, indirect land use change for biofuel production must be avoided. To this end, since 2015, the ILUC Directive 2015/1513 (Indirect Land Use Change) includes, among the information to be sent to Member States annually, estimated values of emissions due to indirect land use change for marketed biofuels, thus increasing their importance in the oil & gas sector.
With in-depth knowledge of the regulatory environment and changing markets, Etacarinae is able to offer services to ensure the sustainability of its clients’ business and full compliance with current regulations.
