Roundtable on sustainable biofuels RSB
The Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels
The Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels (RSB) is an international initiative coordinated by the Energy Center at EPFL in Lausanne that brings together farmers, companies, non-governmental organizations, experts, governments, and inter-governmental agencies concerned with ensuring the sustainability of biofuels production and processing. Participation in the RSB is open to any organization working in a field relevant to biofuels sustainability. See our membership page for more information on how to join!
The RSB has developed a third-party certification system for biofuels sustainability standards, encompassing environmental, social and economic principles and criteria through an open, transparent, and multi-stakeholder process. The RSB GHG Tool will take you through essential steps of the certification process (self risk-assessment, self-evaluation & GHG calculation). Applications for certification have to be transmitted to RSB Services.
Please contact us for more information about the RSB.
