International experience of Peterson Control Union for sustainable biomass certification
Countries, in which PCU certified biomass and bioliquidsPCU – is the second certification body in the world, forthe numbers ISCC certificates issued (720 certificates)
what does it mean?
Sustainable business – is agrowing and profitable businesswhich brings a social and economic
results and at the same time takes care of the enviroment
Sustainability
SOCIAL FACTORS
SUSTAINABILITY
ECONOMIC FACTORS
ENVIROMENTAL FACTORS
• No security of land tenure for farmers • over‐application of fertiliser is “normal”
practice • no access to credit for farmers which limits
investment opportunity
• gender inequities mean women do the farming but can’t make
decisions• Health and Safety is an alien
concept
• irrigated crop in an area where water supply is low and
risky• in part of the world where farming is
known to be polluting rivers
Examples of non‐sustainable business:
Legal requirementsAll certification programs for biomass are based on the Directive 2009/28/EC:
Directive 2009/28/EC: Renewable Energy Directive (RED, April 2009)
Of particular relevance:
Article 17: Sustainability criteria for biofuels and bioliquidsArticle 18: Verification of compliance with the sustainability criteria for biofuels and bioliquidsArticle 19: Calculation of the greenhouse gas impact of biofuels and bioliquids
Annex: Rules for calculating GHG impact
Legal requirements to ensure sustainability are defined in the EU‘s Renewable Energy Directive (RED)
GHG Emissions
• Minimum GHG savings of 35%
• Possible to use default values
No areas with high biodiversity
• Forests and wooded areas
• Protected natural areas • Highly biodiversegrassland
No areas with high carbon stocks
• Peatlands and wetlands • Other areas with trees higher 5 m...

Subprograms of ISCC
How to find the best program for us?
Theory: The choice of the certificate holder/client.
Practice:What program should be used determine the last object of the supply chain.
Who should be certified?

‐ responsible for farmers preparation and certification
‐ each farmer is responsible for their results
‐ Can also undergo individualcertification
‐ only if physical movement of the goods
All objects of the supply chain should be certified
How to find the best certification body?
Theory:The choise of the clientAll certification bodies
controlled worldwide
Practice:Certification body should
have experience in this area(correct assessment of problems)
Certification body shouldhave an office directly atlocation (travel expenses)
certification body shouldrecommend a partner or consultant
11• Inquiry to certification body per telefone or email
22• Sending the certification application form to the client
33•Based on the filled in application form, the certification body makes an offer to the client
44
• If necessary, PCU offers a pre‐audit.•Also possible to make an consultancy by a third party55
•After signing the offer, the certification body registers the client in ISCC and send out the first preparing documents for the audit
66•Preparing for the (first) audit
77•Carrying out the (first) audit = official estimate by one or more inspectors, preparation of audit report.
88•Analysis of the inspection report = inspection report (made by certification body PCU Deutschland GmbH)
99•Decision to issue a certificate

Audit duration?
On farm:1‐3 hours
First gathering point:3‐6 hours
Duration depends on:‐ The size / complexity of the structure of the company‐ The quality of compliance with the requirements ‐ Level of preparation
Key‐factors during the audit:1. Document control procurement documentation, sales documentationlocation plans, maps of fieldscertificate (for example, ownership of the property, compliance with laws and regulations, etc.)mass balancegreenhouse gas emissions
2. Management processesorganigrammanagement Systemtraceability
3. On‐site inspection (walk around the site)field visit (compliance to the fieldmaps evidence, Ecology and Conservation)storage of chemicals for crop protection, fertilizer warehouse (environmental protection)accounting (record‐keeping)
What happens in case of non‐conformities?2 levela) critical non‐conformity / main criteria / screening criteriab) minor non‐conformity / secondary criteria / other criteria
ExamplesISCC:
100% main criteria and minimum 60% secondary criteria should be achieved In case of noncompliance its the necessary to determine steps to resolve them ‐verified by the auditor.50 days to eliminate the non‐conformity (exceptions may apply)
REDcert: Scoring system: all the screening criteria and minimum 75% of other criteria should be achieved
Costs?
1. Costs for the certification program (eg., ISCC)Registration (one‐time) 50‐500 €Certificate fee 50‐500 €Tariffs: 0,03 €/т bioliquids
2. Certification and inspection costsInspection 1‐3 hours at 100 € (farmer)Inspection 1‐3 hours at 100 € (first gathering point)Certification 800 €
Example: 1 first gathering point with 2 farmers (suppliers):250 € + 250 € + 300 € + 300 € + 800 € = 2 200 €
