NRDC Report Recommends RSB Certification for Aviation Industry


NRDC released its second annual Aviation Biofuel Sustainability Scorecard, which rates individual airlines on their implementation of commitments to source sustainably produced biofuels. The report says, “While many members of the aviation sector have made some important progress to implement their sustainability commitments over the past year, we believe there are enormous opportunities to do more, particularly now that credible sustainability standards – such as those adopted by the Roundtable on Sustainable Biomaterials (RSB) – are now fully operational in the marketplace.” The report also states that “Sustainable Aviation Fuel Users Group and its 28 member airlines should make a firm commitment to use the certification framework created by the RSB.”
