The EU H2020 project ADVANCEFUEL (http://advancefuel.eu/) aims to facilitate the market roll-out of advanced biofuels and other liquid renewable fuels in the transportation sector between 2020 and 2030, with an outlook on post-2030 impacts. Effective sustainability frameworks, including certification, are an important tool to safeguard sustainability over the whole biofuel supply chains. The development and implementation of common standards and certification schemes for sustainable biofuels production is therefore one of the key topics of the ADVANCEFUEL project. Consultation with stakeholders is important to identify strengths and weaknesses of the available sustainability schemes and standards and their applicability to advanced biofuels.

Target Groups                          Academia & Consulting, Biofuel industry, Certification scheme owners & auditors, Policy makers

Period of Consultations         Four months, 01/03/2018 – 30/06/2018

Expected outcomes: 

   - an overview of the existing and planned legislation for all (current and new) biofuel types in the member states, showing common elements and differences, highlighting possible barriers to trade and cumbersome administration

      - a report with key issues of current sustainabilitycriteria and certification systems for biofuels and opinions on policydevelopments for energy and biofuels;
