ISCC to beef up POME audits in 2022
Singapore, 28 October (Argus) — The International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) body is tightening auditing rules around palm-based waste biodiesel feedstocks to combat fraudulent behaviour.
Following a one-year transition, palm oil mills generating and supplying wastes and residues such as palm oil mill effluent (POME), empty fruit bunch (EFB) oil and pressed palm fibres under ISCC must be audited on-site annually from 1 November 2022.
Under the current process, non-certified points of origin for waste products can issue a self-declaration to a collecting point, which when audited will only face scrutiny on a sample size of mills comprising at least the square root of those that are self-declared and generate more than 10 t/month of POME or EFB oil.
