Mission NewEnergy gets sustainability certificate

Mission NewEnergy Ltd. is pleased to announce that the German Federal Agency for Agriculture and Food “BLV” has approved the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification system (ISCC) as the first recognized voluntary biofuels standard to comply with the requirements of the German BioNachV legislation. This legislation stipulates rigorous sustainability and carbon savings requirements for liquid biofuels used in Germany for road transport and electric power generation. Earlier last year, Mission became the first and only palm biodiesel manufacturer to receive attestation under the ISCC. The German BionachV legislation is modeled on the European Union’s 2009 Renewable Energy Directive, which requires all European member-states to enact sustainability and carbon savings legislation for biofuels before the end of 2010.
