Certification & Mass Balance

Will your feedstock clear RED III?

Select a feedstock to trace its certification pathway and test it against the RED III greenhouse-gas threshold, Annex IX classification, and eligible markets. Indicative figures on an Annex V default basis.

FeedstockAlcohol processing residues
ConversionDehydration / rectification
Chain of custodyISCC EU · mass balance
EvidenceProof of Sustainability · Union Database
MarketEU advanced · UK RTFO

Mass-balance chain of custody: certified and non-certified consignments may be physically mixed in shared logistics, while sustainability characteristics are tracked in the bookkeeping and balanced over a defined period. Certified output can never exceed certified input.

Indicative figures on a RED III (Directive (EU) 2023/2413) Annex V default basis against the 94 gCO2e/MJ fossil comparator. The 65% saving threshold applies to installations starting operation after 1 January 2021 (70% for renewable fuels of non-biological origin). Verified actual values, disaggregated pathway data, ILUC, and national transposition change the result. Annex IX classification and double-counting per the Directive. Not a substitute for ISCC EU certification.
