ISCC is a global sustainability certification scheme governed by multi-

stakeholder initiative with currently approx. 90 members

Page 4: Sustainability Certification of Alternative Aviation … Schmitz... · Sustainability Certification of Alternative Aviation Fuels ISCC System GmbH Dr. Norbert Schmitz, Managing Director

ISCC certification is being used in more than 100 countries for all types of

agricultural, forestry and alternative raw materials and products

Camelina Canola/ Rapeseed Cereal Corn Palm Shea Soy Sugarbeet Sugarcane Sunflower Waste & Residues Wood

ISCC is internationally acknowledged and well-established. Moreover it is the

leading certification scheme for waste and residues

• One of the first sustainability certification systems

recognized by the European Commission in 2011. Re-

recognized in 2016

• Currently, more than 3,000 system users

• Large volumes of low GHG emissions biofuel (e.g. from

waste and residues)

• Advanced biofuels and no-iLUC biofuels addressed

• Innovative technologies for land use change assessments

• Smallholder projects ongoing

• Comprehensive competencies in GHG emissions analysis

ISCC for alternative aviation fuels

• ISCC for camelina based HEFA used by Lufthansa

• Large certified feedstock basis available (agriculture, forestry, waste and residues)

• Certification of No LUC and No ILUC fuels

• Certification of new agricultural production systems (silvopasture), degraded land and non-

biodiverse grassland

• Co-processing addressed

• Major fuel producers members of ISCC and active users of the system (e.g. BP, Shell, Total, Neste,

ENI, Petrobras, GEVO)

• ISCC member of aireg (Aviation initiative for biofuels in Germany)

ISCC certified producers comply with a set of ecological and social criteria.

Traceability is secured along the whole supply chain

At plantation, farm or forest management unit:

Along the supply chain:

Mandatory controls

Protection of

biodiversity Preservation of

carbon sinks

Good working

practice

Human and

social rights

Traceability and quality management

ISCC defines six principles for the sustainable cultivation of biomass

P R I N C I P L E 1

Social conditions

Ensure good labor conditions and

limit impacts to surrounding

communities

P R I N C I P L E 2

Compliance with laws

Comply with all regional and

national laws and international

treaties

P R I N C I P L E 3

Zero deforestation

Protection of primary forests, high

carbon stock areas, peat- and

wetlands, protected areas and

highly biodiverse areas

Good agricultural practice

Agricultural and forestry production

shall protect soil, water and air and

ensure a sustainable use of land

Safe working conditions

Ensure workers health and safety

during work. Improve competence

and knowledge via training

Good management practices

Recording system and

compliance of subcontractors

ISCC has a comprehensive methodology for GHG emission calculations and

develops calculation models for emerging technologies

Page 13: Sustainability Certification of Alternative Aviation … Schmitz... · Sustainability Certification of Alternative Aviation Fuels ISCC System GmbH Dr. Norbert Schmitz, Managing Director

ISCC carries out GHG emission measurements in the field to support actual

calculations

based biofuel

Conclusions to facilitate the deployment of alternative fuels for aviation

• Using existing schemes will help to make commercial volumes available. It also reduces the burden on

companies in the supply chain and will increase acceptance

• A level playing field for all players in the market is required. Critical issues are related to waste and

residues, actual GHG calculations (e.g. emission factors) and land use change

• Direct land use change can be adequately covered with new transparency and monitoring technologies in

certification systems

• Addressing Indirect land use change with adding a crop specific ILUC factor to the GHG emissions of a

fuel requires more research. Risks and costs for the aviation industry will increase while it is doubtful that

the ILUC factor will contribute to decreasing deforestation
