RSB EU RED Fuel Certification
A European Union (EU)-approved certificate demonstrating compliance in Renewable Energy Directive (RED) and United Kingdom (UK) Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO).
Sustainability certification is a legal requirement for renewable fuel entering European markets. Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials (RSB) certification goes further, providing producers with verified sustainability credentials that unlock market access and build confidence with buyers, regulators and investors. Whether you are pursuing RSB certification for the first time or transitioning from another system, LRQA and EcoEngineers can help.
LRQA, the leading global risk management partner, together with EcoEngineers, an LRQA company that serves clean energy companies through advisory and assurance services, are approved to provide RSB certification services under the RSB standard.
Our teams bring practical, market-ready guidance throughout the certification process, supporting efficient audits, complex supply chains, and multisite operations while maintaining credibility with regulators and fuel buyers.
