SBP (Sustainable Biomass Program) is a certification programme that works to ensure an economically, environmentally and socially sustainable solid biomass supply chain that contributes to a low carbon economy.
SBP is also a tool for profiling greenhouse gas balance data for the biomass, in the context of procurement, production and delivery chain.
Who can benefit from SBP?
- Pellet manufacturers and chip producers who are exporting to energy plants in e.g. Belgium, Netherlands, UK and Denmark.
- Company that is applying for SBP certification should have FSC or PEFC Chain of Custody certificate.
SBP has developed a certification programme to provide assurance that woody biomass is sourced from legal and sustainable sources allowing companies in the biomass sector to demonstrate compliance with regulatory requirements.
More information about SBP and standards can be found in SBP webpages.
