Shougang LanzaTech (02553) announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Hebei Shoulang New Energy Technology Co., Ltd., received the International Sustainability and Carbon Certification for the European Union (ISCC EU) from SCS Global Services on September 14, 2026. This is the first such certification globally in the 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 into Europe. It marks that the group's ethanol products, produced from industrial tail gas, have the necessary international sustainability qualifications to be used as feedstock for sustainable green fuels. With this certification, the ethanol products can be sold directly into the EU marine fuel and road transport fuel markets, as well as the aviation fuel markets of the EU and the UK. The company expects this certification to open overseas fuel supply chains, particularly connecting its products to the EU's ReFuelEU aviation decarbonization market, thereby broadening its international green fuel business.

About ISCC EU Certification
ISCC EU is an EU-recognized sustainability certification system that ensures the production and use of biomass and biofuels comply with stringent environmental and sustainability standards. The certification confirms compliance with the revised Renewable Energy Directive (EU Directive 2023/2413, known as RED III).
RED III serves as the core regulatory framework under the EU's green transition agenda, setting renewable energy targets and establishing sustainability criteria, lifecycle carbon reduction requirements, and raw material traceability standards for biofuels and sustainable green fuels.
Market Access and Strategic Significance
ISCC EU certification is a recognized certification system by the European Union and serves as a critical market access credential for green fuels entering the European market.
With this certification, the Group's ethanol products—produced using industrial tail gas as raw material—now possess the necessary international sustainability credentials for use as feedstock in the production of sustainable green fuels.
Following the receipt of ISCC EU certification, the Group's ethanol products can be sold as certified renewable carbon fuels directly into the EU marine fuel and road transport fuel markets, as well as into the aviation fuel markets of the EU and the United Kingdom.
Expected Impact
The Group expects that obtaining this certification will open up overseas fuel supply chain channels, particularly by enabling its products to access the EU's ReFuelEU aviation carbon reduction market. This development is anticipated to broaden the Group's international green fuel business footprint.
