SCS Standards Releases SCS-115 Module B for Biofeedstock and Recycled Content for Public Review

EMERYVILLE, Calif., August, 27, 2024 /3BL/ - SCS Standards is pleased to announce that the established SCS-115 Certification Standard for Product Carbon Intensity and Reduction for Chemicals and Co-products has been expanded to include a new module to cover requirements pertaining to biofeedstock and recycled content and is now available for public review.

Introduced in April 2024, SCS-115 provides a methodology for third-party certification of the greenhouse gas intensity and reduction in carbon dioxide equivalents of a chemical material. The standard was designed to be modular, allowing for additional requirements specific to different decarbonization levers to be launched gradually. Draft SCS-115 Module B, the second of five planned modules, should be read in tandem with the core SCS-115 standard.

The public is welcome to comment on SCS-115 Module B, which covers biofeedstock and recycled content until September 27, 2024. To request a copy of the draft and submit comments, please reach out to standards@scsstandards.org, or please visit https://www.scsstandards.org/standards/certification-standard-product-carbon-intensity-and-reduction.
