2BSvs a major actor ensuring sustainability as an essential condition for biofuels’ long-term viability

Abstract

2BSvs is one of the most important certification schemes for biofuels worldwide, covering a wide range of feedstock and is currently used in 22 countries by a large number of certified economic operators. 2BSvs covers the complete biofuel industry supply chain from the biomass producer to the final biofuel trader, from production and trading of the raw materials all the way through to biofuel production. 2BSvs has seen regular growth over the last 3 years and the consortium 2BS which manages the scheme, is striving to offer its clients a high level of trust, credibility and support through its professional services with a clear focus on cost-efficiency, and remaining in strict compliance with the requirements of the Directive 2009/28/EC on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources. Continuous improvement is at the heart of the management system of the 2BS Consortium, who continually reviews the scheme through regular consultation with industry experts and relevant regulatory bodies so as to ensure that it continues to provide a service that the users and the biofuel market in general can rely on.
