Mahoney Environmental achieves dual ISCC certifications

Mahoney Environmental Solutions LLC announced Jan. 19 that it has achieved International Sustainability and Carbon Certification for both the EU and the International Civil Aviation Organization’s Carbon Offsetting Reduction Scheme for International Aviation programs.  

With over 70 years of experience, Mahoney said it is now positioned by this dual certification to supply verified feedstocks to manufacturers of renewable diesel and sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).  

The certifications enable Mahoney to formally verify that its collected used cooking oil (UCO) qualifies as genuine waste and residue under international sustainability standards.  

Mahoney also noted that it is crucial for fuel manufacturers who need certified feedstock to produce biofuels that meet EU renewable energy requirements and international aviation carbon-offset standards.  

“The ISCC certification opens doors to new markets and creates competitive advantages by showing compliance with increasingly stringent sustainability regulations,” said Dave Kimball, the CEO and president of Mahoney. “Also, it provides third-party verification of responsible sourcing practices, builds trust with buyers and positions Mahoney as a reliable partner in sustainable supply chains.”  

As a subsidiary of Neste, a leading global producer of SAF and renewable diesel, Mahoney plays a role in securing feedstock for clean-fuel production.  

Additionally, the ISCC certifications help address the growing demand for verified sustainable materials as airlines work to meet carbon-reduction commitments and governments implement renewable fuel standards.  

“For feedstock providers like Mahoney, the ISCC certification transforms our feedstock into a verified sustainable commodity that commands better prices and secures long-term contracts with environmentally conscious manufacturers,” said Brian Murphy, Mahoney’s finished-product sales manager.  

Founded in 1953, Mahoney Environmental was acquired by Neste in 2020.
