2BS (Biomass, Biofuel Sustainability)

2BS (Biomass, Biofuel Sustainability) is a French non-profit association established in 2012 by representatives of the biomass and biofuels industries in response to the EU Renewable Energy Directive. It develops and manages sustainability certification schemes that help economic operators demonstrate compliance with European requirements and place certified products on the EU market. Its flagship 2BSvs scheme covers biofuels and has expanded to biogas, waste and residues, while additional offerings address food and feed and, more recently, wood energy. 2BS also provides GHG calculation and mapping tools and works with independent certification bodies to conduct audits and issue certifications.
