Recently, CTC successfully obtained the International Sustainability & Carbon Certification (ISCC) qualification, becoming one of the few third-party institutions in China with ISCC certification qualification.

As the first standard satisfying the EU Renewable Energy Directive (2009/28/EC RED), ISCC certification has developed into a globally applicable sustainability certification system since its implementation in 2010, covering all sustainable feedstocks, including agricultural and forestry biomass, biowaste and residues, circular materials, and renewable energy. Its certification scope includes:

• Energy: Biofuels, recycled carbon fuels and renewable fuels of non-biological origin, biogas and biomethane, bioliquids, and solid biomass, such as low-ILUC-risk fuels and high-ILUC-risk fuels.

• Industrial applications: Agricultural and forestry biomass, biowaste and residues (including agricultural, aquaculture, fishery, and forestry residues), circular materials, and renewable energy, such as chemicals, packaging materials, and plastics.

• Food and feed: Biomass used for food and feed production, and non-GMO food and feed.

At present, the most widely used ISCC labels are ISCC PLUS and ISCC EU.

ISCC certification can prove to producers, processors, retailers, and brand owners that an enterprise implements sustainable supply chain management. It is of great significance for enhancing the social image of enterprises and products, is a high embodiment of corporate social responsibility, and can substantially enhance corporate business reputation and brand value. Especially for domestic biomass and biofuel sales enterprises, ISCC certification is a “green passport” for the export of such products to Europe.

As a leading comprehensive third-party inspection and certification institution in China, CTC will accelerate its pace of internationalization, stand shoulder to shoulder with domestic enterprises in “going global,” and safeguard the export and internationalization of various enterprises.
