All bioliquids and solid biomass and/or [[Biogas]]/[[AD]] stations ≥1MW must report against and meet sustainability criteria in order to be eligible for [[Renewables Obligation Certificate|Renewable Obligation Certificates]]. Solid biomass and/or [[Biogas]]/[[AD]] stations <1MW are required to report against the sustainability criteria, but receiving [[ROC]]s does not depend on meeting the criteria<ref>[https://www.ofgem.gov.uk/environmental-programmes/ro/applicants/biomass-sustainability [[Ofgem]] Website: Biomass Sustainability Overview, including further links to criteria and guidance]</ref>.

All bioliquids and solid biomass and/or [[Biogas]]/[[AD]] stations ≥1MW must report against and meet sustainability criteria in order to be eligible for [[Renewables Obligation Certificate|Renewable Obligation Certificates]] and was implimented under the [[Renewables Obligation]] in 2009.

* '''Annual profiling data.''' The annual profiling data contains information submitted by the operator regarding the sustainability characteristics of their fuel. This includes information such as: type of [[Biomass|biomass]], the form of [[Biomass|biomass]], country of origin and whether it was wood or derived from wood. Fuelled stations >50kW declared net capacity (DNC) are required to provide this information to [[Ofgem]] following the obligation year.

* '''Annual Sustainability Audit Report.''' The Annual Sustainability Audit Report is an independent audit report commissioned by generating stations using bioliquid fuels and stations ≥1MW using solid [[Biomass|biomass]] and/or [[Biogas|biogas]] fuels. The aim of the audit is to verify the sustainability information that has been submitted by the operator.
