The Legal Trap

One feedstock. Two sets of rules.

🍏

Biogenic Fraction

Food & Wood

Rotting apples, paper, cardboard, garden clippings.

Regulation: RED III

SUBSIDIZED

"Biomass Fuel"

Counts 100% toward Renewable Energy Targets.

Verdict: Easy to finance.
🥤

Fossil Fraction

Plastics

Bottles, packaging, synthetic textiles, rubber.

Regulation: Gas Directive

RESTRICTED

"Low-Carbon"

Zero renewable credits. Must prove 70% emission savings.

Verdict: High regulatory risk.

Investors hate this: one factory, two different legal definitions.

Is it even legal?
