ISCC Certificering - Scope Processing Unit
ISCC EU Processing Unit
In the ISCC EU certification scheme, a Processing Unit is an essential link in the production chain, especially when it comes to the production of biofuels and biomass. A Processing Unit is a facility where raw materials or intermediate products are processed into biofuels or other sustainable end products. Processing starts with the conversion of raw materials such as biomass, waste or other renewable resources into intermediate or end products such as biodiesel or bioethanol.
A key aspect of the operation of a Processing Unit is the use of a mass balance system. This system ensures that the amount of sustainable input, for example biomass, matches the amount of sustainable output. In this way, the sustainability of products can be traced and assured throughout the supply chain. Compliance with the ISCC sustainability criteria is also crucial for the Processing Unit. These criteria include requirements for greenhouse gas reduction, responsible land use and the conservation of biodiversity. The facility must be able to demonstrate that the products are sustainable and meet the strict ISCC standards.
To be certified, a Processing Unit must be audited regularly by an independent body. These audits evaluate various aspects of the business operations, such as the origin of raw materials and compliance with sustainability requirements. The units must also calculate the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the processing of raw materials, as the ISCC EU certification sets requirements for minimum greenhouse gas reductions.
In summary, a Processing Unit plays a crucial role in ensuring the sustainability and traceability of products within the ISCC EU certification scheme, with strict adherence to environmental standards and sustainability requirements.
