What they argued
UPM Kymmene welcomes the initiative of the European Commission for the certification of carbon removal and looks forward having commonly accepted rules for verifying carbon removals. We support to unfold the full potential of the bioeconomy including industrial and nature-based carbon removals as a part of it.
UPM supports sustainability criteria that are technology-neutral and outcome-based. Recycling technologies should be assessed based on their demonstrated environmental and circularity performance rather than on the technology used.
UPM likes to thank the European Commission for the opportunity to participate in the public consultation on the draft amendments to Annexes V and VI of the Renewable Energy Directive (RED III). Its seems that current methodologies for RFNBOs (DR2023/1885) and biofuels (Annex V and VI in the IR 2022/996) show different emission factors for grid electricity.
UPMs feedback on the draft Commission Delegated Regulation on supplementing Directive (EU) 2018/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council, by further extending the scope of the data to be included in the Union database to cover relevant data from the point of production or collection of the raw material.
