The Dutch technical agreement (NTA) describes the requirements for sustainably produced biomass for energy applications (power, heat & cold and transportation fuels). Biomass includes solid as well as liquid and gaseous biofuels.
The NTA 8080 is intended to be applied at organizations that wish to sustainably:
- produce
- convert
- trade; or
- use for biomass for energy generation or as transporting fuel.
Small-holders
‘Small-holders' (small family companies) have been taken into account when drafting NTA 8080. These companies do not need to meet certain requirements due to their nature. It concerns requirements in the field of local prosperity and requirements related to employers. A consultation of (local) stakeholders is excluded as well. ‘Small-holders' may opt for establishing a group in order to be certified as a group.
Residues
Residual flows can be applied to the generation of energy or production of fuels. In NTA 8080, a residual flow is defined as a flow of biomass that is released in the production of other (main) product, representing an economic value less than 10% of the main product's value. To deal practically with this definition, NTA 8080 includes a list with biomass flows that meet this condition. For this, the classification according to NTA 8003:2008, Classification of biomass for energy application (only in Dutch) has been used.
