SUMMARY:Build Trust with Sustainability: How RSB Certification Strengthens Your Market Position (Euro Time Zone)
DESCRIPTION:Access to European Union (EU) and global markets increasingly depends on credible sustainability certification\, especially for renewable fuels\, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF)\, and bio‑based or advanced products. Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials (RSB) certification is widely recognized as one of the most rigorous and trusted sustainability systems in the world\, offering verified environmental and social performance\, robust greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction accounting\, and full supply chain traceability. \nJoin us for this webinar\, co‑hosted by EcoEngineers and RSB experts\, to gain a clear and practical understanding of how RSB certification works and how it supports market access\, compliance\, and credibility.  \nDuring this session\, we will explore: \n\nWhen sustainability certification is required to enter new markets\, including EU\, UK\, and voluntary market pathways.\nWhat RSB certification is\, how its Principles and Criteria ensure best‑in‑class sustainability and traceability across global value chains.\nHow RSB compares to other sustainability schemes\, and why it is recognized as a rigorous\, NGO‑backed system for fuels and advanced products.\nHow the certification process works in practice\, following RSB’s structured eight‑step certification journey — from scheme selection to auditing and ongoing compliance. Documentation\, system requirements\, and audit expectations\, including chain‑of‑custody\, supply‑chain traceability\, and operator responsibilities.\n\nThe session will use real case examples and practical insights from RSB and EcoEngineers auditors and technical specialists. \nEcoEngineers and LRQA are approved to provide certification services under the full suite of RSB certification schemes\, including: \n\nRSB EU Fuel Certification\, aligned with the Renewable Energy Directive (RED) and United Kingdom (UK) Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO)\nRSB Global Fuels Certification\, the internationally recognized voluntary framework focused on GHG reductions and responsible feedstock sourcing\nRSB Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA) Certification\, supporting international aviation fuels under the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)\nRSB Global Advanced Products Certification\, covering circular and bio‑based materials and validating advanced product sustainability claims

SUMMARY:Evaluating RNG Assets: Where Traditional Energy Diligence Falls Short
DESCRIPTION:As renewable natural gas (RNG) assets enter a recapitalization cycle\, investors are learning that RNG due diligence is fundamentally different from traditional energy infrastructure reviews. \nIn this educational webinar\, EcoEngineers experts walk through the unique diligence considerations that influence RNG project performance and value. Attendees will learn how to evaluate RNG assets through a risk‑focused\, investor‑ready lens\, including: \n\nWhy RNG assets require a different diligence approach than traditional power or energy infrastructure\nThe most common hidden risks in RNG acquisitions—and why projects that look strong on paper can underperform\nHow upstream feedstock reliability (dairy\, landfill\, organic waste\, wastewater) affects long‑term asset viability\nHow environmental credit markets such as the federal Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) and California Low Carbon Fuel Standard (CA-LCFS) shape RNG revenues and project economics\nKey contractual agreements to review during diligence\, including feedstock\, offtake\, pipeline\, and marketing contracts\nHow misaligned contract terms and termination provisions can create material downside risk\nWhy compliance systems\, data integrity\, and third‑party verification are central to preserving asset value\nPractical diligence red flags investors should identify before committing capital\n\nDesigned for investors\, financiers\, and strategic buyers evaluating RNG acquisitions or portfolio investments\, this webinar provides a practical framework for navigating RNG assets in an evolving market.

SUMMARY:Biomethane under ETS1 and ETS2: From Zero Emissions to Carbon Removal Potential
DESCRIPTION:The role of the European Union (EU) Emissions Trading System (ETS) is currently at the center of a heated debate\, particularly amid high energy prices and concerns about Europe’s competitiveness. As policymakers and industry seek solutions\, there is growing recognition that the response to the energy crisis must include accelerating the development of domestic renewable alternatives and reducing dependence on fossil fuels. In this context\, biomethane stands out as a scalable\, local energy source that can contribute simultaneously to decarbonization\, energy security\, and system flexibility. \nIn this webinar\, we focus on the current role of biomethane under ETS1 and ETS2\, focusing on how biomethane can be used as a practical tool to reduce exposure to carbon costs while supporting decarbonization goals. Participants will gain a clear understanding of how to correctly structure biomethane transactions to ensure compliance and avoid invalid claims. \nWe also look ahead to the ongoing discussion on ETS reform and the potential evolution of the system toward recognizing carbon removals. While biomethane is currently treated as zero-emission at combustion\, it can also deliver methane abatement and\, in some pathways\, even carbon-negative outcomes. The session explores how these benefits could be recognized through a controlled integration of certified removals\, aligned with the EU Carbon Removal Certification Framework (CRCF). \nWhat You’ll Learn \n\nHow biomethane is currently treated under ETS1 and ETS2\nHow ETS2 expands the role of biomethane across new market segments\nWhat is required to correctly claim a zero-emission factor by avoiding key risks associated with environmental attributes\, mass balancing\, and regulatory fragmentation\nWhy current ETS rules may undervalue biomethane’s full climate impact\nHow carbon removals could be integrated into ETS in the future
