WCI Recommends ASTM D6866 Testing for Mixed Fuels Emissions

The Western Climate Initiative mandates that owners or operators of general stationary combustion units using mixed fuels and waste-derived fuels use ASTM D6866 to determine the biomass fraction of their carbon dioxide emissions. Mixed fuels are mixtures of biomass/biomass fuel and fossil fuel. Waste-derived fuels are those derived from wastes, excluding materials that are pure [...]

ASTM D6866

A standard used to measure the renewable/biogenic carbon content of any solid, liquid, or gas through radiocarbon dating

CEN 15747

Similar to ASTM D6866, the CEN 15747 is used in Europe for solid recovered fuels

prCEN/TS 15440

The prCEN 15540 is a standard in Europe that includes 3 carbon dating-based methods for measuring the biogenic fraction or biomass content of solid recovered fuels. It is expected to be published by March 2011.
