In 2012 we start our project, to produce in cooperation with a state owned refinery biodiesel with feedstock of palm oil with a CFPP Cold Filtration Plugging Point of
-10°C up to 20 °C
This biodiesel will not yet have Certificate of Sustainability.
Neue Übergangsregelung der Biomassestrom-Nachhaltigkeitsverordnung
Gemäß Erneuerbaren Energien-Gesetz darf ab 1.1.2011 keine flüssige Biomasse mehr ohne Nachhaltigkeitsnachweis zur Verstromung eingesetzt werden. Andernfalls geht der NAWARO-Bonus für immer verloren. Das Bundesministerium für Ernährung, Landwirtschaft und Verbraucherschutz (BMELV) hat nun eine Übergangsregelung zum Nachreichen von Nachhaltigkeitsnachweisen gemäß Biomassestrom-Nachhaltigkeits-Verordnung (BioSt-NachV) bis zum 31. März 2011 erwirkt.
Somit besteht jetzt die Möglichkeit, bereits im Tank der KWK-Anlage befindliche flüssige Biobrennstoffe aus der Ernte 2009, für die noch kein Nachhaltigkeitszertifikat vorliegt, nachträglich zertifizieren zu lassen und das Zertifikat bis zum 31.3.2011 an den zuständigen Netzbetreiber zum Zwecke der Auszahlung des NAWARO-Bonus nachzureichen.
RSPO unveils sustainable palm oil trademark
At the RT8 conference in Jakarta, RSPO President Jan Kees Vis today unveiled a new RSPO trademark that will help consumers to find products with palm ingredients sourced within the framework of the Roundtable. The new symbol could end up on the packaging of thousands of consumer products worldwide.
"The RSPO trademark will enable consumers to confirm very quickly that the products they buy contribute to sustainable cultivation of palm oil and other palm products," Mr. Vis said. "RSPO certification and this trademark mean that palm cultivation does not contribute to the sustained destruction of valuable tropical forests or damage the interests of people in the regions where the palms are grown," he added.
The RSPO's Standing Committee on Communications and Claims is developing rules on how and when the new trademark can be used by product manufacturers and retailers. Use of the trademark will, for example, be limited to communications about products in which more than 95% of the palm-derived ingredients was sourced through certified supply chain channels.
Product manufacturers and retail companies will be able to apply for a license to print the new trademark on product packaging starting early 2011, when the rules will have been finalized.
Holland commits to 100% sustainable palm oil in 2015
Last week, Dutch palm oil traders and users pledged collectively to switch to 100% RSPO-certified sustainable palm oil in 2015, making Holland the first to make such a commitment as a country.
"We will work very hard to ensure that by the end of 2015, all palm oil used in the Netherlands will be purchased in accordance with one of the trading systems approved by the RSPO," said Frans Claassen, Director of Dutch Product Board MVO, on behalf of a new Task Force that unites most players in the Dutch refining, food manufacturing and feed industries.
In The Hague, the Task Force presented a Manifesto to the Dutch Minister of Agriculture and Foreign Trade to mark its newly made commitment.
German palm oil market players are warming up to sustainable palm oil as well, witness a packed seminar held last week in Neuss, near Düsseldorf. One hundred participants, mostly from European food industry, heard presentations from the REWE Group, Unilever, WWF Germany, Oxfam International and IOI-Loders Croklaan Europe, among others.
"Palm has the potential to become the world's most sustainable crop," said Marc den Hartog, Sales & Marketing Director at IOI-Loders Croklaan. "The RSPO is the best way forward to ensure sustainable palm oil production."
Berlin, 23.04.2010:
Die Regierungskoalition hat sich in dieser Woche darauf verständigt,
die verschiedenen Dokumentations- und Zertifizierungsvorgaben zur
Nachhaltigkeitszertifzierung für Biokraftstoffe und flüssige Biomasse
erst zum 1. Januar 2011 voll in Kraft zu setzen. Bisher war der 1. Juli als Frist gesetzt.
Berlin 23.04.2010
The government coalition: this week after agreed in the various documentation and
certification requirements for Nachhaltigkeitszertifzierung for biofuels and biomass
for liquid only first January 2011 set in full force. Until now, the first July set as the deadline.
Information launched by
ISCC-Project Meó Corporate Development GmbH
ISCC System GmbH has obtained the first recognition as Certification System for Biomasses and Bioenergies
The recognition was issued January 18th, 20120 by the German BLE.
ISCC System will start immediately.
On January 20th, the first press conference was held by Staatssekretärin Julia Kloeckner in Berlin
Due to the growing market relevance of bioenergies and the increasing use of agricultural feedstock for their production, the discussion about sustainability has gained in importance.
Sustainable production is a precondition for further increasing bioenergy production and use. The use of biomass for fuel, heat or power production represents a large potential for climate protection, diversification of the energy mix, and can lead to a reduction of the import dependency.
The project is supported by the German Federal Ministry of Food, Agricultre and Consumer Protection / Agency for Renewable Resources.(FNR).
ISCC System GmbH erhält die erste, vorläufige Zulassung als Zertifizierungssystem entsprechend der Biokraft-NachV durch die Bundesanstalt für Landwirtschaft und Ernährung (BLE)
Der Anerkennungsbescheid wurde mit Datum vom 18.01.2010 ausgestellt. Jetzt wird ISCC unmittelbar aktiv.
Am 20. Januar fand die erste Pressekonferenz mit der Staatssekretärin Julia Klöckner in Berlin statt
Mit der wachsenden Marktrelevanz von Bioenergie und der damit verbundenen zunehmenden Verwendung landwirtschaftlicher Rohstoffe für deren Produktion, hat die Diskussion um die Nachhaltigkeit an Bedeutung gewonnen.
Die nachhaltige Erzeugung ist Voraussetzung für den weiteren Ausbau der Bioenergie. Die energetische Nutzung von Biomasse, sei es als Kraftstoff, zur Wärmeerzeugung oder zur Stromproduktion, birgt ein großes Potenzial für den Klimaschutz und kann zu einer Reduzierung der Importabhängigkeit bei der Energieversorgung führen.
Das Projekt wird gefördert durch eine Zuwendung des Bundesministeriums für Ernährung, Landwirtschaft und Verbraucherschutz / Fachagentur Nachwachsende Rohstoffe e.V. (FNR).
E-mail newsletter of the "RSPO" the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil
25 June, 2009
One third of European palm oil could now be labeled ‘sustainable’ .
Six months after the first shipload of RSPO-certified sustainable palm oil was delivered to ports in Europe, the combined annual production capacity of certified palm oil producers in Southeast Asia has swelled to 1.75 million tonnes. If all that capacity were used by buyers in Europe, more than 33 percent of all palm oil imported to the EU could now be marketed as ‘sustainable palm oil’. (The EU currently imports about 5.3 million tons of palm oil per year.)
Four regions now contribute about equally to the world’s sustainable palm oil supply: Sabah (Malaysia), Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and the Malaysian Peninsula.
Many more palm oil production sites are in the process of having their plantations and production methods thoroughly checked for compliance with the Roundtable’s environmental and social criteria, ensuring healthy growth in production capacity in the months ahead.
Sustainable palm oil products hit the consumer market
Using an abundant supply of RSPO-certified sustainable palm oil, consumer goods manufacturers have begun to introduce products for the consumer market.
For example, Sainsbury’s, a British retail chain that has pledged to use 100 percent certified oil by 2014, saw sales of its “Basics” Brand fish fingers double after it introduced sustainable palm oil as an ingredient. Since introducing RSPO-certified palm oil as an ingredient to their Basics fish fingers, the retailer has set out to expand the use of sustainable palm oil in its full frozen fish range as much as possible.
Henkel, a German-based consumer product maker, successfully introduced a range of household cleaning products containing certified palm kernel oil. They are sold under the Terra Activ brand. The company had acquired certificates from RSPO-certified producers through the GreenPalm trading system.
