Uni-Fuels Achieves International Sustainability And Carbon Certifications For Sustainable Biofuels

KUALA LUMPUR, Feb 13 (Bernama) -- Singapore-headquartered Uni-Fuels Holdings Limited (Uni-Fuels), a global marine fuel solutions provider, announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Uni-Fuels Pte Ltd (Uni-Fuels Singapore), has received both ISCC EU and ISCC PLUS certifications.

The certifications were granted by the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC), a globally recognised independent multi-stakeholder initiative and leading certification system supporting sustainable, fully traceable, deforestation-free, and climate-friendly supply chains.

“Achieving ISCC certifications demonstrates our commitment to supporting the global transition to cleaner fuels. With Proof of Sustainability documentation, we provide our customers with the assurance that the biofuels they rely on are responsibly produced and fully compliant with evolving regulations,” said Uni-Fuels Vice President, Operations, Tan Guan Kai in a statement.

These certifications highlight the company’s commitment to sustainability and compliance with European Union (EU) regulations aimed at reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the maritime industry.

The ISCC certifications ensure that the biofuels traded by Uni-Fuels Singapore meet the requirements of the EU’s Renewable Energy Directive (RED II), including the provision of Proof of Sustainability (PoS).

This important documentation ensures biofuels are sustainably sourced and produced, enabling full traceability from feedstock to final product.

As the maritime sector moves toward greater decarbonisation, it is essential for biofuel suppliers to demonstrate compliance with regulatory standards, including the EU Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) and FuelEU Maritime. The PoS documentation ensures biofuels can be counted toward emissions reduction targets, unlike fossil fuels.

The PoS framework, along with the ISCC EU and ISCC PLUS certifications, assures customers that the biofuels they rely on are sustainably sourced, traceable, and meet high sustainability standards. These certifications ensure regulatory compliance and enhance transparency, helping build trust in the biofuel sector.
