EcoCeres White Paper Seeking Fair, Effective, Fraud-Proof EU Certification for Sustainable Biofuels

EcoCeres Inc., based in Hong Kong, has recently issued a position paper highlighting the importance of fairness, effectiveness, and anti-fraud measures in the EU’s sustainable biofuel certification framework. As Europe accelerates its transition to renewable energy, ensuring the integrity and transparency of sustainability claims has become more crucial than ever. The paper calls for practical, transparent, and universally recognized verification mechanisms to uphold market credibility, support environmental goals, and build trust among consumers and industry stakeholders.

Key highlights include support for EU biofuel verification reforms with an emphasis on fair and anti-fraud measures; a call for uniform rules for both EU and non-EU producers and feedstocks; a warning against overly burdensome controls that may disrupt limited-supply products like SAF; a push for stakeholder-inclusive processes; and a recommendation to enhance the EU biofuel database (UDB) for better traceability.
