| Abstract | To a large extent, environmental sustainability of biofuel production systems is determined with lifecycle assessments, corresponding to the processing steps of supply chains considering environmental effects such as greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions or air pollutants. However, local/regional environmental impacts require additional sitespecific and flexible options for the assessment of environmental and other aspects of sustainability such as criteria and indicators (C&I) on water use or biodiversity in bioenergy certification schemes. Against the background of the planned inclusion of solid biofuels in the EU Renewable Energy Directive (EU RED), sets of C&I from bioenergy certification schemes are tested. Do they provide a representative and balanced overview of the environmental impacts of solid biomass production? The current setup of many certification schemes is mostly based on feasible but less on reliable indicators, typically focusing on land management indicators and less on more reliable biophysical parameters. Certification schemes often lack a methodology or thresholds of sustainable biomass use, which might be a future improvement option. |
