Certification
V l t t d d d t i d ti• Voluntary standards used to improve production practices in many industry sectors
• Not all biofuels are the same; certification helps• Not all biofuels are the same; certification helps to distinguish between good and bad actors.

Calculator
The Greenhouse Gas Calculator measures emissions of biofuels for each lifecycleThe Greenhouse Gas Calculator measures emissions of biofuels for each lifecycle production step, from farming to final fuel distribution.
Calculation Methodologies supported include:
RSB Method
EU Renewable Energy Directive (RED)
CH (MinOEV) Swiss standard (for tax relief)CH (MinOEV) Swiss standard (for tax‐relief)
USA RFS2 – default data
California (LCFS) – default data
