Norway-headed resource management and trading company Geminor AS has announced that it can now source certified biomass from suppliers worldwide and deliver it to energy and industrial customers across the Nordics.
The expansion follows the Sustainable Biomass Program (SBP) trader certifications awarded to Geminor Denmark and Geminor Finland, enabling the group to supply biomass with the sustainability documentation required under the Renewable Energy Directive (RED III).
The certifications were issued by the independent certification body Preferred by Nature, and cover the purchase, storage and resale of certified woodchips and pellets.
The new trader certifications complement the SBP Producer certification awarded to Geminor-owned Bøn Biobrensel in September 2026.
While Bøn Biobrensel can bring qualifying biomass from non-certified Norwegian suppliers into certified supply chains, the Danish and Finnish companies can trade biomass that is already certified.
Two routes to certified biomass
Together, the certifications give Geminor two sources of supply: its own Norwegian production and international certified suppliers.
SBP certification also allows Geminor to supply biomass to Sweden with documentation that meets the requirements of the Swedish sustainability declaration “hållbarhetsbesked”, further expanding the group’s supply options across the Nordic market.
With Denmark and Finland certified, we are no longer limited to sourcing through our Norwegian production operations. We can purchase certified biomass internationally and supply it across markets while maintaining the required documentation, said Tadesse Negash, Sustainable Biomass Coordinator at Geminor, who led the certification process.
Part of Geminor’s biomass strategy
The certifications support Geminor’s May 2026 decision to make biomaterials a strategic priority. Together, they provide a stronger platform for growing the group’s biomass business across the Nordics.
Moving waste across borders and documenting every step is what Geminor has built its business on. Biomass is a natural next step. A certified Nordic value chain makes us a stronger partner for customers who need to cut emissions and prove it, said Håvard Framnes, CEO of Geminor.
