Control Union – Certification

NEa – Booking confirmation

This service provides the independent assessment required for NEa Confirmation of Renewable Fuel Bookings. It is for organisations supplying sustainable liquid biofuels to the Dutch market, enabling them to book deliveries in the Register for Energy in Transport (REV). The process is crucial for receiving Renewable Fuel Units (HBEs), with the type and quantity depending on the biofuel feedstock used. Control Union provides the necessary independent assessments for this process.

Control Union – Certification

    What is NEa?

    Supplying biofuels to the Dutch market requires adherence to complex regulations set by the Dutch Emissions Authority (NEa). Organisations must correctly book their physical deliveries to receive valuable HBEs, demonstrating compliance and meeting customer demands for sustainability. The booking organisation is responsible for ensuring all data is correct. This includes specific rules for advanced biofuels destined for the maritime and aviation sectors. Control Union provides the independent assessment needed to navigate these requirements with confidence, supporting compliant operations.
