EU approves Bonsucro, RSB, SSS, ISCC, Abengoa and Greenergy sustainability programs

In Belgium, the European Commission has given the green light to seven voluntary certification programs that would ensure that biofuels certified under those schemes would qualify for EU biofuel targets under the Renewable Energy Directive.

The seven programs include Bonsucro, Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels, Roundtable on Sustainable Soy, ISCC, Abengoa’s RED Bioenergy Sustainability Assurance and Greenergy’s Brazilian Bioethanol verification program.
