RFNBO Certification

Access EU markets through objective certification of renewable fuels

RFNBOs (Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin) are renewable fuels produced without the use of biomass. They are created through the electrolysis of water using renewable electricity, combined with carbon from non-fossil sources, such as CO₂ captured from the air. Examples include green hydrogen, e-methanol, e-kerosene, and e-ammonia.

These fuels contribute to the sustainability of sectors where direct electrification is not feasible, such as aviation, shipping, heavy road transport, and the chemical industry.

Within the European Union, certification is mandatory for organizations that wish to produce, trade, or utilize RFNBOs. With ISCC EU certification, organizations can demonstrate compliance with the requirements of the RED II and RED III directives. DEKRA is an officially recognized certification body and conducts independent audits of processes, systems, and documentation for ISCC RFNBO certification in accordance with applicable standards.

How does the RFNBO certification process work?

The RFNBO certification process consists of several steps, from preparation to annual recertification. DEKRA conducts independent assessments based on ISCC EU standards.

We start with an intake session to analyze your processes, CO₂ and energy sources, and supply chain structure. Based on this, we determine the scope of certification and the most suitable scheme. DEKRA processes the registration in accordance with protocols, including location and project registration.

Our auditors assess whether your organization’s processes comply with the requirements of RED II/III and the chosen certification scheme. This includes evaluating the origin of renewable electricity, CO₂, data management, emissions calculations, and supply chain transparency. If necessary, third parties within the supply chain are also involved in the assessment.

After the audit, you will receive a report with its findings. If the assessment is positive, you will receive the official certificate. If discrepancies are identified, you can correct them within an agreed timeframe for reassessment.

Certificates are valid for twelve months. DEKRA conducts reassessments and evaluates any changes in systems, methods, and legislation.
