When using multiple substrates, how should they be accounted for in biomass fuel production? Can DDV be used for some and not for others?

When using multiple substrates, how should they be accounted for in biomass fuel production? Can DDV be used for some and not for others? RED II, Annex VI, part c outlines the methodology market operators need to apply in the case of co-digestion of different substrates in a biogas plant for the production of electricity or biomethane. See the system document 205 for more details on the calculation of emissions. A mixture of DDV and actual values is possible when dealing with multiple substrates.

ISCC Press Release on Reports of the EBB on Polish low-priced Biodiesel Export to EU Member States

On 3 March 2016 the European Biodiesel Board (EBB) published a press release on Polish low-priced biodiesel exports that threatens the level playing field on the EU market. According to the EBB some Polish exporters sell biodiesel at very low prices to EU Member States. These low prices may be possible because some Polish operators would sell quantities of biodiesel that were already counted towards the Polish national biofuels quota to other EU Member States as sustainable according to the Renewable Energy Directive (RED). The EBB has also informed the European Commission, Polish authorities and certification schemes that are recognized by the European Commission, including ISCC, about the allegations. ISCC is taking the allegations seriously, and is ready to take

How should transport emissions be calculated if transportation distance downstream of the final processing unit is not known?

How should transport emissions be calculated if transportation distance downstream of the final processing unit is not known? Should the exact distance for downstream transport and distribution not be known to the final processing unit, two options exist: 1) Use disaggregated values for transport and distribution as provided in sections D and E of Annex V and Annex VI of the RED II for certain final fuels. 2) If a final fuel is produced for which no such values are available a conservative approach can be used and the highest value of the most logical choice from these tables can be used (e.g. transport distance to Europe and throughout Europe).
