Technical Stakeholder Meeting “Waste, Residues and Advanced Low Carbon Fuels”

4th Technical Stakeholder Meeting
23 September 2021, Virtual Meeting
Around 300 participants joined the virtual meeting of the Stakeholder Committee “Waste, Residues and Advanced Low Carbon Fuels”. The meeting focused on the implementation of the RED II and the draft Implementing Act that was recently published by the European Commission. The implications of this legislative framework and the perspectives from ISCC, national authorities and industry were actively discussed. In addition, the certification of CORSIA sustainable aviation fuels and the updated certification guidance for waste and residues from palm oil mills were presented. Last but not least, a new Co-Chair Asia was elected for the Technical Committee. We welcome Ms Foo Siew Theng to this position.

About the Technical Stakeholder Committee
The ISCC Technical Stakeholder Committee “Waste, Residues and Advanced Low Carbon Fuels” supports the constructive dialogue on the sustainability certification of waste and residues-based and advanced low carbon fuels.It aims to resolve immediate, practical problems and demands and contribute to shaping the future for low carbon fuels in the global transport sector (road, aviation, rail, maritime) and for industrial use.
The core objective is to support the development and deployment of low carbon fuels. In order to reach this, ISCC provides and further develops a reliable and practical sustainability certification standard for low carbon feedstocks and fuels.
The Committee provides an important platform for stakeholders to engage in a dialogue to tackle those challenges and opportunities. Meetings will take place on a regular basis and working groups may be established as required.
