Our Members

Working together to produce sustainable fuels that create added economic and environmental value.

Our members are producers of biodiesel from used cooking oil, animal fats and other advanced waste feedstocks, waste collectors and technology providers. EWABA members are jointly bringing waste-based biofuels with up to +90% greenhouse gas (GHG) savings to the market, when compared with mineral diesel fuel.

Our members are working together to produce renewable fuels that create added economic and environmental value, by preventing waste and residues from causing noxious pollution, adding GHG emissions and blocking major urban infrastructure sewage systems.

EWABA gathers corporate members active in the majority of EU Member States and in important non-EU markets such as the United Kingdom and Switzerland.

We represent our members’ interests before European and national authorities by directly interacting with officials and decision-makers and distributing a wide array of policy materials such as position papers, consultation responses and policy proposals.

Bioledger

Bioledger published a press release following the approval of the implementing act on revised standards for certification schemes. Under the new regime, full digital traceability will be required throughout the global biofuel and feedstock supply chain by January 2023. 

Digitising the entire supply chain before the end of 2022 is a significant challenge but it is the overhaul needed to compile a single accurate dataset on the biofuel supply chain incentivised by the European climate policies. The Commission is working with Voluntary Schemes and stakeholders including Bioledger to demonstrate security and scalability of the central database and it’s third-party data providers

Bioledger, an independent software provider established in 2019 specifically to address risks in biofuel supply chains, has been working with diverse biofuel businesses, auditors and regulators to design, build and scale the mobile and web based applications that enable them to demonstrate compliance with the new requirements.
