Certification according to the SURE system
Demonstrate sustainable processes for the production of electricity and heat with the Sustainable Resources Verification Scheme
The Renewable Energy Directive (2018/2001/EC – RED II) aims to further advance and encourage the use of energy from renewable sources. It also applies to operators involved in the supply chain and the production of liquid biofuels or biomethane for the production of electricity or heating/cooling.
A voluntary certification according to the SURE system is the optimum way to demonstrate compliance with the sustainability criteria on a neutral and reliable basis.
