Stationary source emissions - Determination of the ratio of biomass (biogenic) and fossil-derived carbon dioxide - Radiocarbon sampling and determination (ISO 13833:2013)

ISO 13833:2013 specifies sampling methods and analysis methods for the determination of the ratio of biomass- and fossil-derived carbon dioxide (CO2) in the CO2 from exhaust gases of stationary sources, based on the radiocarbon (14C isotope) method. The lower limit of application is a biogenic to total CO2 fraction of 0,02. The working range is a biogenic to total CO2 fraction of 0,02 to 1,0.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International
Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting.
Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies
casting a vote.
ISO 13833 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 146, Air quality, Subcommittee SC 1, Stationary
source emissions.

ISO 13833:2013(E)
Introduction
Reliable data for biogenic carbon dioxide (CO ) emissions are needed for carbon emission trading and in
order to provide more accurate inventories.
When combusting mixtures of fuels from fossil and biogenic origin, it is often difficult to determine the
exact ratio of biogenic and fossil CO in the total CO that is emitted through the stack gas, because the
2 2
biogenic and fossil composition of the combusted fuels is not always known or cannot be determined
with sufficient accuracy. This is the case when solid recovered fuels (SRF) are used.
The contribution of solid, liquid, and gaseous biofuels to energy production is likely to increase. A reliable
and robust method for the determination of the ratio of fossil and biogenic CO in the total emitted CO
2 2
of stack gas will enhance the implementation of these products, as reliable data for carbon emission
trading can be generated with this approach.
Different methods exist to determine the ratio of fossil and biogenic CO in stack gas. The radiocarbon
( C isotope) method has been applied since the 1950s in a variety of sample types, like food, fuels,
polymers, and atmospheric and combustion CO to determine the ratio of biogenic and fossil carbon
(Reference [18]). Biogenic and fossil carbon can be distinguished based on the measured amount of
the C isotope in the sample. Another, relatively new applied method is the “balance method”, which
combines standard data on the chemical composition of biogenic and fossil organic matter with routinely
measured operating data of the plant (Reference [10]). Similar methods using stoichiometric methods,
for example, can also be used.
This International Standard gives sampling and analysis methods for the determination of the ratio of
biomass and fossil fuel-derived CO in the total emitted CO from exhaust gases of stationary sources,
2 2
based on the radiocarbon ( C isotope) method. Sample strategies for integrated sampling for periods
from 1 h up to 1 month are given. Radiocarbon determination procedures include accelerated mass
spectrometry (AMS), beta-ionization (BI), and liquid scintillation (LS) measurement procedures for the
determination of the radiocarbon content.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) draws attention to the fact that it is
claimed that compliance with this document may involve the use of patents concerning the use of the
radiocarbon isotope as biogenic marker: a) Metho
