to be approved/certified within the frames of sustainability certification scheme Explanation: The producer/company is recognized under/according to EU recognized sustainability certification (recognized certifications in accordance with EU Recognized Voluntary Sustainability Schemes Biofuels and other biomaterials certified by any EU recognized Voluntary Sustainability Scheme can be accepted by RSB certified operators into their chain of custody. All eligible virgin materials are accepted and the following on-product claims can be made. http://rsb.org/activities-and-projects/cooperation-with-othe... Voluntary schemes In order to receive public support or count towards mandatory national renewable energy targets, biofuels and bioliquids used in the EU must comply with the EU's sustainability criteria. One way for companies to demonstrate that their biofuels comply with the criteria is to participate in voluntary schemes that have been recognised by the European Commission. What is a voluntary scheme? Voluntary schemes verify compliance with the EU's biofuels sustainability criteria. They check that biofuel production did not take place on land with high biodiversity, that land with high carbon stock was not converted for biofuel production, and that the production of biofuels leads to a sufficient level of greenhouse gas emissions savings. Several schemes also take into account additional sustainability aspects such as soil, water, air protection and social criteria. For the purpose of certification, the whole production chain from the farmer growing the feedstock up to the biofuel producer or trader is checked by independent auditors. List of approved voluntary schemes The European Commission recognises a number of voluntary schemes that demonstrate compliance with the sustainability criteria for biofuels. Schemes are mostly privately run but recognised as valid by the European Commission. Recognitions can last for a period of five years. https://ec.europa.eu/energy/en/topics/renewable-energy/biofu... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 8 hrs (2016-01-31 07:18:31 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Voluntary schemes - European Commission https://ec.europa.eu/energy/en/topics/renewable.../voluntary...
