Proposal for an IMO sustainable fuels certification framework in the context of the IMO LCA Guidelines and the IMO net-zero framework (ISWG-GHG 18/2/17)

This document provides an updated proposal on the development of an IMO sustainable fuels certification framework that will allow certification schemes/standards to operate under the purview of the IMO LCA Guidelines, especially with respect to the implementation of the technical and economic elements under the IMO net-zero framework. To establish such a framework, the co-sponsors propose three concise regulatory paragraphs as well as the development of supporting guidelines and procedures for the recognition by and reporting of certification schemes/standards to the Organization. The co-sponsors propose an IMO sustainable fuels certification framework with new draft regulation and an indication of supporting guidelines to be developed, and invite guidance on how to further progress this matter.
