What is the Union Database (UDB)? The Union Database is a register of evidence in the biofuel sector, which is set up and operated by the EU Commission. It is intended to enable better traceability of gaseous and liquid (bio)fuels. This is intended to avoid double counting and double marketing of sustainability properties. The greenhouse gas savings of a bioenergy quantity are counted towards the German biofuel quota and the EU ETS. The establishment and ...

Greenhouse Gas Accounting under the SURE-EU System: An Innovative Approach to Sustainable Energy Management
Greenhouse gas (GHG) accounting has gained importance in recent years to assess the impact of human activities on the climate and to develop efficient mitigation strategies. Different systems such as REDcert, ISCC, and the SURE-EU system offer different approaches to GHG accounting. This technical article focuses on the SURE-EU system and examines its role, benefits, and differences from other accounting systems such as REDcert and ISCC. ...
Structure and examples of the calculation of a GHG balance according to the SURE-EU system.
Explanation, structure and scope of a GHG balance According to the requirements of RED II, the GHG reduction for the production of heat and electricity from biomass fuels in plants commissioned from 2021 onwards must be 70%. This means that by using biomass fuels, as opposed to fossil fuels such as diesel, to produce electricity and heat, at least 70% ...
