ISCC's working group studied 18 used cooking oil samples from five regions through nine laboratories. It found comparable laboratory results but substantial variation in the materials, and did not establish universal authenticity thresholds. Its preliminary screening approach remains a research outcome and has not been embedded in certification processes.
Why it matters:Useful evidence for UCO integrity work. The research does not create a new certification requirement or prove a sample's authenticity.

India is scaling sustainable aviation fuel capacity against indicative blending targets of 1% in 2027 and 5% by 2030. The article argues that rigorous certification, such as RSB’s Principles and Criteria, functions as a commercial instrument for managing risk and building long-term asset resilience rather than merely a compliance cost.
