The Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels

The Roundtable on Sustainable Biofuels (RSB) is an international initiative coordinated by the Energy Center at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne that brings together farmers, companies, non-governmental organizations, experts, governments, and inter-governmental agencies concerned with ensuring the sustainability of biofuels production and processing.

The RSB is developing a third-party certification system for biofuels sustainability standards, encompassing environmental, social and economic principles and criteria, through an open, transparent, and multi-stakeholder process. Participation in the RSB is open to any organization working in a field relevant to biofuels sustainability.

Please contact us for more information about the RSB.
