Renewable Carbon Test Standards

If you are sending samples to comply with certain regulations, please consult the regulatory agency what standardized method should be used.

ASTM D6866

Applicable to solid or liquid fuels and their combustion emissions
Measures % Biogenic Carbon as a fraction of total carbon

BS EN ISO 21644:2021

International standard used to determine the biomass content in solid recovered fuels
It supersedes EN 15440

ISO 13833

International standard developed to address the need for accurate and reliable data for carbon emissions trading
Can only be used to determine the fractions of biomass-derived and fossil-fuel derived carbon dioxide (CO2) in the total emitted CO2 from exhaust gases of stationary sources
