REDcert-DE and REDcert-EU for the Biofuel sector

For the sustainability certification of biomass, biofuels and bioliquids are the systems REDcert-DE and REDcert-EU available.

The REDcert-DE system was approved as a certification system on 20 July 2010, by the Federal Agency for Agriculture and Food (Bundesanstalt für Landwirtschaft und Ernährung – BLE). Two years later the REDcert-EU system was recognized by the European Commission. Thereby, in all European Member States and selected third countries certifications were possible after the system REDcert-EU.

The certification system REDcert-DE and REDcert-EU can be applied to all of the steps involved in the process starting with production and collection of input materials through to processing in oil mills and the production of biofuel and liquid biofuel.
