Sustainability Criteria for Bioenergy
Also Known As:
The DIN ISO 13065 standard is a set of guidelines that specifies principles, criteria, and indicators for assessing the environmental, social, and economic aspects of sustainability in the bioenergy supply chain. It acknowledges that the production and use of bioenergy have potential benefits in terms of climate change mitigation, energy security, and sustainable development.
The standard recognizes that bioenergy production can vary significantly based on factors such as geographic location, climatic conditions, level of development, institutional frameworks, and technological issues. It aims to provide a framework that can be applied to the entire supply chain, specific parts of a supply chain, or individual processes within the supply chain. The standard is applicable to all forms of bioenergy, regardless of the raw material used, geographical location, technology, or end use.
It is important to note that the standard does not establish specific thresholds or limits, nor does it describe specific bioenergy processes or production methods. Compliance with the standard does not determine the sustainability of processes or products. Instead, the standard aims to facilitate comparability between different bioenergy processes and products, as well as between bioenergy and other energy options.
