ISCC System GmbH is the legal entity responsible for managing the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) system, which is one of the most recognized voluntary certification schemes for sustainable biomass, biofuels, and other bio-based materials.
Established to ensure compliance with sustainability requirements, the company offers certification services that cover the entire supply chain from feedstock production to final product. This includes verification of greenhouse gas savings, no deforestation, and social criteria. ISCC certifications are accepted under the EU Renewable Energy Directive for counting towards renewable energy targets.
Headquartered in Cologne, Germany, ISCC System GmbH operates on a global scale with certified entities in numerous countries across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. The system has been adapted to certify new categories such as recycled carbon fuels derived from industrial waste gases, as seen in facilities using technologies like those from LanzaTech.
The company is privately held and focuses on maintaining the integrity and credibility of its certification process through rigorous auditing standards. In the chemical and energy industries, ISCC System GmbH holds a prominent position by facilitating market access for sustainable products and supporting the transition to a low-carbon economy through verified supply chains.
