Technical guidance on EU directives, sustainability certifications, and compliance documentation for industrial feedstock procurement.
Effective feedstock procurement requires more than competitive pricing—it demands comprehensive regulatory knowledge. This Hub provides procurement teams with the technical guidance needed to evaluate supplier compliance.
The Renewable Energy Directive is the cornerstone of European biofuel policy. Understanding the transition is essential for sourcing feedstocks.
The RED establishes targets for renewable energy use across EU member states. For biofuels, it defines which feedstocks qualify, the sustainability criteria they must meet, and the GHG savings thresholds required.
Annex IX categorizes feedstocks based on their sustainability tier. Part A feedstocks receive favorable treatment due to their waste-based origins.
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) is a rapidly growing market driven by the ReFuelEU Aviation regulation. This mandate requires a minimum SAF blend in all flights departing EU airports.
The globally recognized system for verifying feedstock sustainability. Understanding the difference between ISCC EU and ISCC PLUS is critical.
Mandatory for any feedstock destined for the EU biofuel market under RED II/III.
Extends sustainability verification to chemical, plastics, and food/feed industries.
Requiring companies to prove their supply chains are not linked to deforestation or forest degradation.
EUDR enters into force as EU Regulation 2023/1115.
Operators begin mapping supply chains and collecting geolocation data.
Large companies must be fully compliant by Dec 30, 2025.
SME deadline and full enforcement across all operators.
Answers to common questions about sustainability compliance.
Biofuels are produced from biological feedstocks. E-fuels are produced using renewable electricity and CO2. Both count towards targets but have different regulations.
Not directly, but ISCC is developing modules to align with EUDR. Traceability data often overlaps.
H-POME is hydrolysed POME with higher FFA and lower moisture, offering excellent GHG savings.
