• Reinier de Man, Sustainability of Bioenergy: the contribution of private sector
  initiated certification, Unpublished manuscript, Leiden, November 2016. Partly based on this  paper: Reinier de Man and Laura German, Certifying the sustainability of biofuels: Promise and reality, Energy Policy, 2017, vol. 109, issue C, 871-883. Unfortunately, I could not effectively control the edits made in the Energy Policy version, which, as a result is much far less convincing than the original manuscript.
