We are pleased to announce the update of our 2BS biofuels GHG calculator. As of 1 June 2026, the v7 calculator will come into effect and will be mandatory for all GHG calculations relating to grains harvested after this date. In the context of your audits, calculations carried out using the previous version (v6.63) will no longer be accepted for these grains. This new version is available in two formats: The results produced by this tool are considered compliant by default during the audit. However, the auditor will verify the raw values entered. The calculations performed in this file will be reviewed by the auditor to ensure their compliance, particularly in the event of modifications made by the user. The

As starch-derived materials gain interest as feedstocks for biofuel and biogas production, 2BSvs reminds operators of the correct classification rules under the Renewable Energy Directive (RED). Waste starch slurry cannot be considered a waste or residue if it is deliberately produced or is the main intended output of a process (for example, following the separation of waste starch slurry from refined starch). This refined starch must necessarily have a food or feed outlet for the waste starch slurry to be classified as a residue. Otherwise, it must be classified as a (co-)product. This reminder aims to ensure proper feedstock classification and prevent misreporting or non-compliance during certification. ‘waste’ means waste as defined in point (1) of Article 3 of Directive 2008/98/EC, excluding

2BS sustainability certification was recently recognised by the European Commission regarding its co-processing procedures. This represents an extension to the scope of 2BS certification. Thanks to the development of a specific procedure, you are now able to integrate the co-processing method into your production process via our certification process. With this extension, you can combine renewable materials with fossil ones in the same process, while complying with RED II requirements. To help you better understand this new certification, we prepared a webinar dedicated to the 2BSvs – co-processing documentation. The webinar’s presentation and replay are now available.

The European Renewable Energy Directive (RED) requires that all players in the biofuels supply chain seeking to value their sustainable products in the market be certified. At 2BS, we offer a certification that aligns with the directive and is easier to implement. However, we know that implementing a new certification is never simple. So find here the five main things you need to know about the 2BSvs- biofuels certification. Or, to learn everything you need to know about the 2BSvs – biofuels certification, check out our dedicated white paper! 1- What is RED? The Renewable Energy Directive (RED) aims to promote energy produced from renewable sources and thus facilitate the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in European countries. The
