Unlocking the Potential of Biogenic Testing for Hydrocarbon & Fuel Gases

Key Facts

Carbon-14 testing acts as a solution to address environmental concerns by measuring biogenic versus fossil carbon in hydrocarbon and fuel gases.
This testing, which covers a wide array of gas targets including methane, propane, and butane, is essential for ensuring the integrity of clean fuel standards and promoting environmental sustainability.
The CO2 released when fossil fuels are burned has been sequestered millions of years ago and has not been part of the active carbon cycle for a long time.
Biogenic Testing for Regulatory Compliance 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.
