Abstract

This Decision lays down rules regarding the recognition of the ‘Better Biomass’ voluntary scheme in order to check that compliance with the rules for biofuels, bioliquids, biomass fuels, renewable liquid and gaseous fuels of non-biological origin and recycled carbon fuels is achieved. The ‘Better Biomass’ voluntary scheme demonstrates, for the fuels audited under the scheme, the compliance of the consignments of biofuels, bioliquids and biomass fuels with the sustainability criteria and the compliance of economic operators with the obligation to enter accurate information into the Union or national database on renewable fuels and recycled carbon fuels used in transport in accordance with the Directive (EU) 2018/2001. In addition to that, the scheme contains accurate data on greenhouse gas emission savings.
