EU Reporting – ISCC System (2024)

Please provide the amounts ofraw materials and/or biofuelsthat were handled as sustainable under ISCC EUat any point when you were covered by the ISCC EU certification in the calendar year 2023. This option is set as default in the form, so you do not have to change this.

Should you have to make a correction to the amounts reported for the calendar year 2022 please select “2022” accordingly in the field for “Year”.

You are requested to complete the form if you were certified in 2023 under one or more of the following scopes:

• First Gathering Point
• Central Office for Farms/Plantations
• Farm/Plantation (individual certification)
• Collecting Point
• Central Office for Points of Origin
• Point of Origin (individual certification)
• Biofuel/bioliquid/biomass fuel producers (i.e. processing units such as biodiesel plants or ethanol plants producing the final product)

Please select the applicable option under “Certified Scope” (only one option can be chosen). Depending on the selected option, the pull-down menu under “Type of Product” will automatically adjust and will only show the applicable options to select (see also next question).

Note:

Oil mills only classify as final producer if they produce vegetable oil that is directly used for electricity or heat production. An oil mill is not classified as final biofuel producer if the vegetable oil is further processed into biodiesel.

The following amounts must not be reported to ISCC: Amounts of intermediate products (e.g. covered by the certification scope of an oil mill or refinery) and amounts of sustainable materials that were only traded and/or stored (i.e. covered under the certification scopes trader and/or warehouse or logistics centre).

You have to report sustainable raw materials (feedstocks)if you were certified under one or more of the following scopes:

• First Gathering Points
• Central Office for Farms/Plantations
• Farm/Plantation (individually certified)
• Collecting Point for waste and residues
• Central Office for Points of Origin
• Point of Origin for waste and residues (individually certified)

In this case, please select under “Type of Product” the option “Raw material (feedstocks)”.

• First Gathering Pointsshall report the amount of agricultural raw material (including agricultural crop residues) received in the calendar year 2023 from farms or plantations which have signed the ISCC EU self-declaration/self-assessment (non-certified suppliers). Amounts received from certified suppliers (e.g. individually certified farms or other certified First Gathering Pointsshall not be reportedto ISCC to avoid multiple counting of these amounts.
• Individually certified Farms/Plantations or Central Offices for Farms/Plantationsshall report the amount of agricultural raw material (including agricultural crop residues) supplied as sustainable under the ISCC EU certificate in the calendar year 2023.
• Collecting Pointsshall report the amount of waste or residues received in the calendar year 2023 from points of origin, which have completed the ISCC EU self-declaration (non-certified suppliers). Amounts received from certified suppliers (e.g. individually certified points of origin or other certified Collecting Points)shall not be reportedto ISCC to avoid multiple counting of these amounts.
• Individually certified Points of Origin or Central Offices for Points of Originshall report the amount of waste or residues generated and supplied as sustainable under the ISCC EU certificate in the calendar year 2023.

You have to report sustainable biofuels/bioliquids/biomass fuelsif you were certified as:

Producer of biofuels/bioliquids/biomass fuels(e.g. biodiesel plants, bioethanol plants, HVO plants etc.).
In this case, please select under “Type of Product” the applicable biofuels (e.g. biodiesel, bioethanol, HVO, biomethane etc.).

• Biofuel/Bioliquid/Biomass fuel Producersshall report the amount of biofuel producedand suppliedinto the market under the ISCC EU certificate in the calendar year 2023. Here, the applicable type(s) of products (such as biodiesel, bioethanol, HVO, biomethane, etc.) have to be selected one by one.

If a company was certified under ISCC EU and other voluntary schemes recognised by the European Commission than ISCC EU, only the amounts declared as sustainable under ISCC EU must be reported to ISCC.

The information “country of origin” refers to the country where the raw material came from that entered the supply chain.

Foragricultural raw materials (including agricultural crop residues)this is the country where the farm/plantation was located that supplied the agricultural raw material.

Forwaste and residue raw materialsthis is the country where the point of origin was located that generated the waste or residue.

Note: Biofuel producer must state the country of origin of the raw material that was used to produce the biofuel. This information can be found on the sustainability declarations provided by the supplier of the sustainable input material that was used to produce the biofuel/bioliquid/biomass fuel.

Please only enter full numbers into the field “Amounts”.

Please round decimal numbers to full numbers.

Do not use any commas, full stops, decimal points etc.

Example 1: “2507” instead of “2.507,32”

Example 2: “15” instead of “14.75”

The amounts must be reported inmetric tons (mt). Onlyin the case of biomethane and gaseous products the amount has to be reported in cubic meters (m3). The applicable unit will be set automatically in the field “Unit”, depending on the “Type of Product” chosen. Please make sure the numerical figure you enter refers to the quantity of product in mt (or m3 if the product entered is a gaseous final product).

If you have detected a mistake in the amounts that you reported to ISCC or if you have missed to report some information, you can correct this. In order to do so, please complete and submit the online form again. Please note that you have to complete againALL fields(including all materials and amounts that were reported correctly) and not only the ones that need correction or are newly added. ISCC receives the online forms in chronological order. ISCC will regard the last online form submitted by you as the valid one.

You can download some examples on how to report the sustainable amounts correctly here:

Please be assured that ISCC will treat all company specific data with utmost confidentiality.

Once you enter the information and submit it though the online form, you receive an automatic reply. This does not equal to confirmation of processing of the reported amounts.

Only after ISCC has received and processed the reported amounts, a confirmation email (“Confirmation of EU Reporting Data for the Calendar Year 2023”) will be sent to you with an overview of the reported amounts. Please note that this can take some time as ISCC receives high volumes of reports.

You must document this confirmation email and the attached overview of the reported amounts and make it available to your certification body/auditor during the next audit. The auditor will verify if your company has complied with the reporting obligation and if the reported amounts (as confirmed by ISCC) were correct.

To fulfill its reporting obligation to the European Commission, ISCC aggregates the amounts of sustainable material reported by the companies and submits the anonymised information to the European Commission.
