Carbon-14 testing acts as a solution to address environmental concerns by measuring biogenic versus fossil carbon in hydrocarbon and fuel gases.

Key Points: 
  • Carbon-14 testing acts as a solution to address environmental concerns by measuring biogenic versus fossil carbon in hydrocarbon and fuel gases.
  • Carbon-14 analysis measures the biogenic content of hydrocarbon gases and fuel gas samples according to ASTM D6866.
  • Biogenic carbon testing conducted through ASTM D6866 for hydrocarbon and fuel gases produced from co-processing is required in various clean fuel standards across the USA, Canada, and EU.
  • Hydrocarbon gases composed of biogas, landfill gas, biomethane, RNG, co-processing gaseous fuels, renewable gas feedstocks, syngas, geogenic methane, soil gases, waste to energy gases, enteric gases, renewable propane, bioreactor gases, and intermediate gases.

Biobased is defined as materials that are derived in whole or in part from biomass resources such as plants and other renewable agricultural, marine, and forestry materials.

Key Points: 
  • Biobased is defined as materials that are derived in whole or in part from biomass resources such as plants and other renewable agricultural, marine, and forestry materials.
  • It is essential that the term Biobased is used accordingly and not commingled with other sustainability characteristics in order to maintain the integrity of all biobased materials and products.
  • Multiple widely accepted Carbon-14 test standards include ASTM D6866, ISO 16620, and EN 16640 for biobased carbon content.
  • The following list includes examples of international certifications and regulations that widely accept the definition of biobased and require third party verification methods.
