Bangchak\u2019s own call for \u201cclear targets and a roadmap\u201d says the same thing.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Feedstock choice changes which market counts it.<\/strong> UCO sits in Annex IX Part B of the EU Renewable Energy Directive and counts toward ReFuelEU\u2019s minimum shares; ReFuelEU Art. 4(5) excludes PFAD unless it is listed in Annex IX. A PFAD-based SAF may still have voluntary and Scope 3 buyers, but it is not a like-for-like substitute for a UCO-based one in the EU mandate market.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And on language: ISCC does not require an operator\u2019s own records to be in English, and it publishes self-declaration templates in many languages.
