Certification of Organisation in the Area of Sustainable Biomass

Sustainable Biomass

Biomass fuels, especially biofuels, are increasingly in demand worldwide. At the same time, natural landscapes and the biological diversity of the ecosphere should be preserved. Companies are therefore called upon to cultivate and process biomass sustainably for the energy sector. For this reason, the European Union has adopted Directive 2009/28/EC: since 2011, economic operators using biofuels and liquid biofuels have been able to prove that they are produced in an environmentally friendly and sustainable way.
