ISCC-EU compliance software for biomethane producers

Onboard suppliers, capture certificates of conformity, run the ISCC-EU mass balance and generate the audit pack your certification body actually wants. One platform from feedstock to final retirement.

Aligned with ISCC-EU 203 (Standard on Mass Balance) and ISCC-EU 205 (System Documents).

ISCC-EU done right, audit after audit

ISCC-EU is the gold standard for sustainable biomass in Europe. It is also unforgiving: missing supplier self-declarations, mis-formatted mass-balance reports and post-close edits will all earn findings. GooClear handles the parts certification bodies test on every audit.

  • Supplier self-declaration capture

    Every Annex I, II or III supplier self-declaration is captured at onboarding, version-controlled and re-prompted before expiry.

  • Mass balance to ISCC spec

    Booking period, group-of-products and scope of sustainability characteristics all follow the ISCC-EU 203 standard.

  • Certificate of conformity flow

    Each onward sustainability declaration captures the right ISCC-EU fields automatically — no PDF templates to maintain.

  • Pre-audit checklist

    Run the checklist the certification body uses against your live data before the audit. Closes 80% of findings before they happen.

  • Auditor export

    One-click export in the format ISCC-aligned certification bodies accept — Excel mass balance, batch lineage, GHG calculations.

  • Re-audit confidence

    Methodology applied per batch is frozen at issuance. A re-audit two years later recalculates the same number.

What ISCC-EU actually requires from a software

ISCC-EU is governed by a small set of system documents — ISCC-EU 201 (System Basics), 203 (Mass Balance), 205 (System Documents) and 206 (Risk Assessment) being the ones that bite during audits. Together they require a documented mass balance per booking period (typically 12 months) and per group of products, with sustainability characteristics tracked at the batch level, supplier self-declarations on file before each delivery, and a documented risk assessment of the supply base.

What this means in practice is that software claiming to support ISCC-EU has to do four things well: ingest supplier self-declarations against the ISCC Annex templates, run a mass-balance ledger that follows the ISCC group-of-products rules, calculate GHG with eec/etd/ep/eccs/eccr per batch using ISCC-aligned defaults, and produce the exact audit pack the certification body asks for. GooClear was built specifically against these four obligations.

The ISCC-EU audit pack on GooClear

When a certification body books your annual audit, the audit pack we generate contains the documents they expect in the order they expect them.

  • Supplier list with the latest self-declaration version and expiry date per supplier.
  • Mass-balance report per booking period and per group of products — opening balance, all certified inflows, certified outflows, retirements and closing balance.
  • GHG calculation worksheet per outflow batch, with eec/etd/ep/eccs/eccr decomposed and the methodology used clearly tagged.
  • Sustainability declaration log: every PoS / SoP issued, with recipient, volume and signature.
  • Risk assessment refresh for the booking period under audit.
  • Hash-anchored period close so the auditor can verify the integrity of the ledger independently.

FAQ — ISCC-EU biomethane software

  • Is GooClear ISCC-EU certified itself?

    GooClear is a software platform — voluntary-scheme certification applies to the operator, not the software. We are aligned with ISCC-EU 201/203/205 and the outputs the certification body accepts. We also support REDcert-EU, REDcert-DE and SURE in parallel.

  • Can I switch from another platform mid-cycle?

    Yes. We replay the last 12 months of certified events so the new ledger arrives at the same closing position as the legacy system. The next scheduled audit runs against GooClear without an extra recertification.

  • What does the platform do at audit time?

    It generates the audit pack on demand, gives the certification body read-only access to the live ledger scoped to the period under review, and surfaces any open exceptions before the auditor arrives on site.

  • Do you support all ISCC-EU groups of products?

    Yes — biomethane, biogas, advanced biofuels, biofuel feedstocks. Group-of-products allocation is configurable per plant.

  • How are GHG values calculated?

    Per batch, using ISCC-EU-aligned default values or your measured values. The methodology applied is frozen at issuance so a re-audit recalculates the same number.

  • Is the ledger acceptable to ISCC system users?

    Yes. The auditable export matches the format certification bodies accept. We have walked customers through ISCC-EU certification audits on the platform.
