As a result, the first ISCC RFNBO certificate was issued in Denmark. In September 2024, ISCC received the positive technical assessment from the European Commission for its ISCC EU certification approach for Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin and Recycled Carbon Fuels. Following this, the German Environment Agency (UBA) pre-recognised ISCC EU for RFNBO production in November 2024, enabling early certification of RFNBOs in the German market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of 19 December, official certification for Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin (RFNBOs) and Recycled Carbon Fuels (RCFs) is now possible under ISCC EU.
