Implementazione del sistema di certificazione dei biocarburanti e bioliquidi: analisi del modello tedesco

The sustainability criteria for biofuels and bioliquids to be implemented by Member states are described in the 2009/30/EC and 2009/28/CE directives. Directive 2009/30/EC and Directive 2009/28/CE introduce sustainability criteria for biofuels and bioliquids. Member States have to implement a verification system on the respect of these criteria. The German system has a unique hierarchical structure, in which the Federal Office for Agriculture and Food (BLE), having a control on the entire chain of biofuels and bioliquids, is entitled to approve one or more national certification systems.

The first interface identified is the first biomass gathering point
