Sustainable Resources Verifications Scheme gets green light from European Commission
In Germany, the Sustainable Resources Verifications Scheme has been approved by the European Commission as voluntary scheme that enables economic operators within the bioenergy industry to show compliance with the legal requirements of RED II. The final recognition was announced with a publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. Under the revised Directive (EU) 2018/2001, the EU sustainability criteria have been extended to cover biomass for heating and cooling and power generation. EU countries were required to transpose the new rules by 30 June 2021, and many economic operators decisively chose to document the sustainable use of biomass by applying for a certification in due time. SURE-System has received more than 3500 applications in less than a year
Since the launch of the scheme, 25 certification bodies have been approved by SURE and actively contribute to the successful certification process. Additionally, the scheme rapid growth in the market is assisted by 6 national partners that help increasing awareness and supporting the system in countries like Austria, Lithuania, Spain, Germany, Slovakia, and Czech Republic.
