Renewable fuel producer EcoCeres is releasing a paper tomorrow (16 July) which will outline fraud-resistant certification protocols for sustainable biofuels in the EU.

The proposals underscore the importance of implementing verification mechanisms that are transparent, and fostering trust among consumers and industry stakeholders.

The list includes:

• fair and uniform rules applicable to both EU and non-EU producers or operators and all feedstock types
• Cautions against overly burdensome controls that could disrupt supply, especially for limited supply products like sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)
• Advocating for practical, transparent and recognised verification processes with stakeholder input and balanced roles for certification bodies and member states
• Reforms to improve the EU Biofuels Database (UDB) for better traceability

Matti Lievonen, CEO of EcoCeres – which recently signed a multi-year SAF agreement with British Airways – argued that a credible verification system was fundamental to realising the EU’s ambitious climate and sustainability goals.
