Road Transport Fuels

Why alternative road transport fuelsmatter

Because reducing transport emissions is essential for meeting national and international climate goals. Fuels derived from biomass, waste, residues, and renewable feedstocks reduce the carbon intensity of road transport. And expanding alternative fuel production helps transition away from fossil fuels and promotes circular, resource-efficient systems

Ourapplicable schemes

ISCC EU

Leading certification for renewable transport fuels

 

ISCC EU is our global flagship certification scheme for renewable transport fuels, recognised under the European Union’s Renewable Energy Directive III (RED III), as well as the UK’s Department for Transport’s (DfT) Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO).

ISCC PLUS

Certification for voluntary markets

 

Is our globally applicable voluntary certification scheme, covering all feedstocks and markets. Alternative road transport fuels certified under ISCC PLUS can be used to make claims in voluntary markets.

ISCC Canada CFR

Certification for sustainable biomass feedstocks in Canada

 

ISCC Canada CFR is our certification scheme recognised under Canada’s Clean Fuel Regulation (CFR), supporting the production and use of lower-carbon fuels from agricultural and forest biomass. It enables feedstock producers to demonstrate compliance with the CFR’s Land Use and Biodiversity criteria.

Market and policy drivers

Road transport plays a central role in meeting international decarbonisation targets.

01

Renewable Energy Directive (RED III)

The EU’s RED III defines sustainability criteria and greenhouse gas saving targets for renewable energy use in transport across the EU.

02

Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO)

The UK’s RTFO requires fuel suppliers to blend a certain share of renewable fuels, driving demand for certified biofuels and advanced fuels.

03

National quota systems

Under the RED III provisions, EU Member States need to reach specific targets for renewable energy. Member States can use renewable fuels in road fuel transportation to meet that quota.
