About
An amendment to the Law on Energy from Renewable Sources of 28 April 2022 appointed Baltpool as the energy resources exchange operator to implement a national scheme for the assessment of biomass compliance with sustainability and greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction criteria. The scheme is expected to be accessible to all existing participants in the energy exchange and will collect all information on the compliance of biomass with the sustainability and GHG reduction criteria, and the information will be transmitted by the State to the European Commission.
The aim of the system is to collect data with minimum administrative burden for the participants of the biomass exchange, ensuring the reliability of the collected data on the basis of the existing registers managed by public institutions (STI, Forestry Service).
As of 2nd May 2023 the Republic of Lithuania’s national biomass sustainability scheme “RED BP” is launched.
At the same times the RED BP scheme has become available to Biomass Exchange participants at RED BP national biomass sustainability scheme.
Participants can log in to the system with the same email address as when logging in to the Electronic Trading System (ETS). The first login requires a password to be created by clicking on the “Password reminder” button.

How it works?
Why to choose RED BP?
– Sustainability with minimum effort:
-
- Buyer needs to trade with RED BP label on BALTPOOL International Biomass Exchange and report inventories at least once a quarter;
- Seller need to provide purchase documents and evidences that biomass is harvested in sustainable way, followed with financial audit at the end of the year, if non-certified biomass is supplied. If supplied biomass is certified with FSC, PEFC, SURE, SBP or KZR INIG financial audit at the end of the year is not required.
– Biomass sourcing and sustainability prove in one application – BALTPOOL provides sustainability claim for every RED BP contract made on BALTPOOL international biomass exchange;
– Compliable with FSC, PEFC, SURE, SBP, KZR INIG sustainability schemes;
– CO2 emission calculation by independent party.
