19 Good management Practices Protection of Land - High biodiversity value Water Quality Air Quality Continuous Improvement No Competition with established local RNG Application Sustainable Management Practices Renewable Gas Protection of Land-High Carbon Stock Biodiversity Soil Quality RNG towards local prosperity GHG Mitigation Thresholds Standard for Quality Management (ISO 9001)
20 GHG Accounting Tool Demonstration: Exemplary calculation GHG Tool 20
21 Sustainability Criteria for Certification Compliance with the renewable energy directive will require to include additional criteria (besides GHG mitigation) in the GGCS certification scheme. The definition of the GGCS certification criteria set should include the minimum sustainability criteria from the EU RED. Additional criteria could be included based on the specific values and intentions of the stakeholders. The sustainability criteria included can overlap with existing national or European legislation. In this case links between the respective frameworks need to be established. This will help to decrease the effort during the auditing process. 21
22 GGCS Sustainability Criteria EU RED criteria (minimum requirements) Additional criteria for consideration Good management practices and continuous improvement no competition with established local biomass application biomass production towards local prosperity E Protection of land with high biodiversity value E Sustainable management practices E Protection of land with high carbon stocks GHG mitigation thresholds Maintenance or improvement of water quality E Maintenance or improvement of air quality No effects on biodiversity Link to established standards for quality management (ISO 9001) Maintenance or improvement of soil quality DBFZ own figures 22
23 Compliance with EU RED criteria Protection of land with high biodiversity value E Sustainable management practices Protection of land with high carbon stocks GHG mitigation thresholds Compliance with EU RED minimum requirements can be demonstrated using existing national legislation Consideration of protected areas: use of existing tools such as GRAS, etc. to check reference date for land conversion ( ) Use of farmer self declarations or other proof of compliance with national and EU requirements regarding good agricultural practices (e.g. cross compliance, etc.) GGCS calculation tool, default values 23
