Shougang Lanzheng (02553.HK) announced on September 23 that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hebei Shougang Langze New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., received the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification - EU scheme (ISCC EU) certificate from SCS Global Services on September 14, 2026. This is the first such certification in the global renewable carbon fuel sector. ISCC EU is an EU-recognized sustainability certification system ensuring biomass and biofuel production meets strict environmental standards, including compliance with the revised Renewable Energy Directive (RED III). The certification serves as a market access credential for green fuels entering Europe. It confirms that the group's ethanol products, produced from industrial tail gas, have the necessary international sustainability qualifications to serve as feedstock for sustainable green fuels. With this certification, the group's ethanol can be sold as certified renewable carbon fuel directly into EU marine and road transport fuel markets, and can enter EU and UK aviation fuel markets. The company expects this certification to open overseas fuel supply chains, particularly supporting access to the EU's ReFuelEU aviation carbon reduction market, thereby broadening its international green fuel business.

Hong Kong, September 23 — Shougang Langze (02553.HK) announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hebei Shougang Langze New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., was granted the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification for the European Union scheme ("ISCC EU") by SCS Global Services on September 14, 2026. This marks the first time such certification has been awarded in the global recycled carbon fuel sector.
ISCC EU is an officially recognized sustainability certification system by the European Union, ensuring that the production and use of biomass and biofuels comply with stringent environmental and sustainability standards. The certification confirms compliance with the requirements of the revised Renewable Energy Directive (EU Directive 2023/2413, "RED III"). RED III serves as a core regulatory framework under the EU's green transition agenda, setting renewable energy targets and establishing sustainability criteria, full lifecycle carbon reduction standards, and raw material traceability requirements for biofuels and sustainable green fuels.
As an EU-recognized certification system, ISCC EU is a key market access credential for green fuels entering the European market. Obtaining ISCC EU certification signifies that the Group's ethanol products, produced using industrial tail gas as feedstock, possess the necessary international sustainability credentials for use as raw materials in the preparation of sustainable green fuels. Following the certification, the Group's ethanol products can be sold as certified recycled carbon fuels directly into the EU's marine fuel and road transport fuel markets, as well as into the aviation fuel markets of the EU and the United Kingdom.
The Group expects that this certification will open up overseas fuel supply chain channels, particularly by enabling its products to align with the EU's ReFuelEU aviation decarbonization market, thereby broadening the Group's international green fuel business footprint.
