SGS expanding biofuels testing in the Netherlands

In the Netherlands, SGS is expanding its biofuels scope of testing at the Netherlands laboratory to include testing of bioethanol, biomethanol, bioETBE and bionaphtha. Specifically, it has introduced biogenic content testing on middle distillates and HVO by liquid scintillation counting (LSC), according to DIN 51637 / EN 16640. The procedure is accredited under ISO/IEC 17025:2017.

As Armin Vogelaar, Business Manager at SGS, says: “Biofuels are the future of transportation. Indeed, the Dutch Emission Authority’s (NEa) recent regulation means that biofuel use will increase massively over the next few years. Thanks to our new testing capabilities, our Amsterdam laboratory can help organizations across all sectors to optimize their biofuels operations and demonstrate ongoing regulatory compliance”.
