Note on terminology: EU Renewable Energy Directive

Please note that, with immediate effect, the SBP convention will be to refer to the Renewable Energy Directive as the EU RED.

Where we refer to the EU RED, this should be understood to mean the latest, currently effective version of the Renewable Energy Directive. As it stands today, this refers to the Renewable Energy Directive EU/2023/2413, commonly known as REDIII.

REDIII grandfathering clause

Under the EU’s Renewable Energy Directive EU/2023/2413 (REDIII), a grandfathering clause allows certain biomass installations to continue operating under the sustainability criteria of the previous Directive EU/2018/2001 (REDII) until 31 December 2030.  If this applies to you, more information is available here.

REDIII Level A risk assessments

To support Biomass Producers with REDIII compliance, we have created and published  a number of REDIII Level A Risk Assessments. These will assist in implementing the management systems necessary for compliance with the EU RED sustainability criteria. As independent documents, the REDIII Level A Risk Assessments replace the Annex 6 REDII Level A Risk Assessment in the Regional Risk Assessments.

The REDIII Level A Risk Assessments for the seven regions covered by our Regional Risk Assessments are available here.
