Mahoney Environmental Wins Dual ISCC Certifications for Clean Fuels Innovation
Mahoney Environmental Achieves Dual ISCC Certifications
In a significant advancement for sustainable fuel production, Mahoney Environmental Solutions, LLC has been awarded the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification (ISCC) for both EU and CORSIA (Carbon Offsetting Reduction Scheme for International Aviation) programs. With over 70 years of experience in waste management, this achievement positions Mahoney as a leader in supplying verified feedstocks necessary for the production of renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel.
The Importance of ISCC Certification
The ISCC certification allows Mahoney to formally validate that its used cooking oil is a legitimate waste product, compliant with international sustainability standards. This validation is essential for fuel manufacturers who require certified feedstocks to create renewable fuels and biofuels that align with the EU’s renewable energy directives and international aviation carbon offset guidelines.
According to CEO and President Dave Kimball, "The ISCC Certification opens doors to new markets and creates competitive advantages by demonstrating compliance with increasingly stringent sustainability regulations. It not only guarantees third-party verification of our sourcing practices but also builds trust with buyers and solidifies Mahoney's position as a dependable partner in sustainable supply chains."
Strengthening the Sustainable Supply Chain
As a subsidiary of Neste, globally renowned for producing sustainable aviation fuel and renewable diesel, Mahoney's role in ensuring a steady supply of clean fuel feedstock has never been more critical. The ISCC certifications meet the rising demand for verified sustainable materials as airlines strive to achieve carbon footprint reduction commitments while regulatory bodies enforce renewable fuel standards.
Brian Murphy, finished products sales manager, emphasized that the ISCC certification transforms Mahoney's feedstock into a recognized sustainable commodity, which allows them to command premium prices and secure long-term agreements with environmentally aware clients.
