1 ENplus challenges in establishing a worldwide certification of pellets quality and sustainability, Christian Rakos

2 ENplus a certification scheme for pellets for residential use Established to achieve uniform pellet qualities for residential use in Europe Amazing success on the market! 80% of German production, 75% of Austrian production, major part of production of UK, Spain, Romania. Annual audits secure, that quality management and production equipment is appropriate to secure consistent high pellet quality

3 Ambition of the PELLCERT project: 1) extend towards the certification of technical quality of industrial pellets Establish auditing and certification scheme for industrial pellet producers A certified producer has appropriate plant, trained employees and quality management to produce industrial quality pellets with consistent level of quality Certification reduces risks for the buyer and seller Certification adds to the maturity of the sector

4 Challenges Can certification procedures for ENplus plants be used or do they need to be adapted? Will there be clients for the certification? Will producers use it to enhance their profile? Will buyers require it? How should certified pellets be branded?

5 PELLCERT ambition No 2): inlude a sustainability scheme in the ENplus system First Question: should that be applied to 1) residential and industrial pellets, 2) only to residential 3) only to industrial pellets? Should the requirements be similar?

6 Current residential pellet production in Europe Based exclusively on sawmill byproducts 95% produced locally i.e. in Europe IS THERE A NEED FOR SUSTAINABILITY CERTIFICATION?

7 Development of standing wood reserves in the EU 27: 5,2 Billion m3 added in 20 years

8 Wood reserves in Europe: increase is larger than entire EU oil reserves!

9 Questions: Is there any doubt that the use of sawmill byproducts for heating in EU is less sustainable than use of heating oil? What do our clients want to know regarding sustainability? How much energy is used to produce pellets / CO2 footprint of pellets? Are pellets really produced locally / in the EU

10 The current ENplus approach As of 2012 pellet producers have to determine their CO2 emissions / t of pellets XLS tool is being completed Supply chain must be documented, but not disclosed to the client Should ENplus distributers be obliged to disclose from where they source pellets?

11 Do we still need additional requirements for Europen production for residential markets? Should ENplus Pellets be required to use raw material from certified forests (FSC or PEFC chain of custody certification)? Should additional criteria be applied on top of forest certification?

12 Sustainability certification of industrial pellets

13 Some questions Should the ENplus system require similar proof of sustainability for all countries and regions or not? Determine countries with high risk based on official statistics on illegal logging & deforestation Establish stricter requirements for countries with high risk / net deforestation?!

14 Different perspectives lead to different opinions Perspective of EU pellet producers / forest owners: if sustainability needs to be checked use forest certification which is well established! Perspective of power sector: we have to source overseas there is no forest certification available there, lets use RED criteria!

15 Should ENplus certification offer two solutions for sustainability? Accept either forest certification + GHG balance (plus certain additional criteria?) OR RED criteria based certification developed by IWPB? Should both solutions be applicable for both markets residential and industrial?

16 Thank you for your attention!
