Standard Practice for Collection of Integrated Samples for the Speciation of Biomass (Biogenic) and Fossil-Derived Carbon Dioxide Emitted from Stationary Emissions Sources

Importancia y uso:

5.1 Greenhouse gases are reported to be a major contributor to global warming. Since “biomass CO₂” emitted from combustion devices represents a net-zero carbon contribution to the atmosphere (that is, plants remove CO₂ from the atmosphere and subsequent combustion returns it), it does not contribute additional CO₂ to the atmosphere. The measurement of biomass (biogenic) CO₂ allows regulators and stationary source owners/operators to determine the ratio of fossil-derived CO₂ and biomass CO₂ in developing control strategies and to meet federal, state, local and regional greenhouse gas reporting requirements.

5.2 The distinction of the two types of CO₂ has financial, control and regulatory implications.
