Fuel from biomass, especially biofuels, is in increasing demand worldwide. At the same time, natural landscapes and the biological diversity of the ecosphere must be preserved. Companies are therefore called upon to cultivate and process biomass for the energy sector in a sustainable manner. With the Renewable Energy Directive RED III (Directive (EU) 2023/2413), the European Union has created a framework that enables economic operators to transparently demonstrate the sustainable and environmentally friendly production of biofuels and liquid biofuels.
This certification is suitable for companies along the bioenergy and biofuel supply chain that process, trade, or market sustainable raw materials and require appropriate documentation.
These include, for example:
• Agriculture and agricultural trade (e.g., plantations, primary collection points for biomass, waste, or residues).
• Processing and production (e.g., oil/sugar mills, biodiesel, bioethanol, or biogas plants).
• Trade and logistics (e.g., traders, warehouse operators, logistics centers for biofuels).
• Chemical and materials industry (e.g., manufacturers of bio-based products or recycled materials).
• Food and feed production (e.g., companies utilizing biomass sustainably).
The certificate for sustainable biomass is an effective and trustworthy instrument in order to:
TÜV NORD supports you with independent audits, technical expertise, and a structured verification process, enabling you to efficiently meet requirements and demonstrate your sustainability performance.
TÜV NORD CERT has been recognized by the Federal Environment Agency (Umweltbundesamt) as a certification body for Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBO). We can now assist companies with the certification of their green hydrogen according to the ISCC EU and REDcert EU standards.
Green hydrogen plays a crucial role in the energy transition. However, its full potential can only be realized if its origin and sustainability are reliably demonstrated. This is where verified standards and recognized certification bodies come into play. Recognition by the Federal Environment Agency is essential in Germany to ensure the credibility and quality of the certification.
