Certification Scheme: ISCC Japan FIT

The Japan Feed-in-Tariff (FIT) sets out a system of incentives for the production of renewable electricity in Japan which includes subsidies for the procurement of palm kernel shells and palm trunks. Japan’s Ministry for Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) has set out specific requirements for the certification of palm kernel shells and palm trunks under the FIT system. The ISCC Japan FIT standard for palm kernel shells and palm trunks incorporates these requirements so that products certified under this standard will be eligible under Japan’s FIT system.
