Core Features
The RCF and RFNBO RSB GHG Tool is specifically designed for emerging synthetic and waste-derived fuel pathways that fall outside traditional biomass accounting systems. Its key capabilities include:
RCF and RFNBO Pathways – Supports emissions calculations for recycled carbon fuels, renewable fuels of non-biological origin, and other e-fuels.
Full Lifecycle Emissions Analysis – Calculates emissions across feedstock sourcing, waste collection, transport, processing, blending, storage, and final energy use.
Co-Processing Methodologies – Includes expanded co-processing and flexible allocation functionality for complex fuel production systems.
RED III Regulatory Alignment – Updated for emerging RFNBO and RCF regulatory treatment under the revised EU Renewable Energy Directive.
Scientific Dataset Integration – Incorporates Ecoinvent v3.11 and IPCC 2021 data for lifecycle emissions modelling.
Certification and Feasibility Support – Designed for RSB certification workflows, feasibility studies, audit preparation, and advisory analysis tied to advanced fuel markets.
Closing Insights
The RCF and RFNBO RSB GHG Tool reflects the rapid institutionalisation of synthetic fuels and recycled carbon pathways within European decarbonisation policy. As RED III expanded regulatory treatment for RFNBOs and recycled carbon fuels, lifecycle accounting requirements became significantly more complex than conventional biomass calculations because electricity sourcing, hydrogen production pathways, waste-gas treatment, and carbon origin directly influence regulatory eligibility and emissions intensity outcomes. RSB’s decision to separate the tool from its biomass-focused calculator appears intended to reduce methodological confusion while accommodating these newer fuel categories.
The platform’s relevance extends beyond certification administration into sectors facing difficult decarbonisation constraints, particularly aviation, maritime transport, and industrial fuels. RSB’s later recognition by the European Commission for RFNBO and RCF certification under RED III further positioned the tool within emerging compliance markets linked to sustainable aviation fuel, renewable hydrogen derivatives, and electrofuel production.
Unlike broad enterprise ESG platforms, the tool functions as technical infrastructure for product-level fuel accounting and regulatory verification. RSB also supports the software with licensing agreements, methodology documentation, online training modules, and advisory support services aimed at organisations navigating evolving RFNBO and recycled carbon certification requirements.
