For Generation Units (including Demand Side Units and Aggregated Generator Units and any components thereof) that burn fuels with a biomass fraction of 100%, the above evidence should be submitted under mixed fuels to confirm that the fuel is not of fossil fuel origin and also to confirm that the fuel meets the criteria set out in Article 29 of Directive 2018/2001/EU to be eligible for financial support (i.e. Proof of Sustainability).
