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.

Introduction
Reliable data for biogenic carbon dioxide (CO ) emissions are needed for carbon emission trading and in
2
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
2
14
( 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
2
(Reference [18]). Biogenic and fossil carbon can be distinguished based on the measured amount of
14
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
14
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) Method for determining the relationship of renewable to non-
renewable sources of energy; b) Method for determining the fossil fuel content in a fuel stream, as well as a
an incineration furnace.

5 Principle
5.1 General
14
The measurement of the presence of the C isotope in flue gas or stack gas enables the determination
of the biogenic and fossil fractions of the CO that is emitted. The determination of the biogenic CO
2 2
fraction in flue gas or stack gas consists of:
— representative sampling of CO ;
2
14
— measurement of the sampled C;
— calculation of the biogenic CO fraction in the stack gas emitted during the sampling period.
2
Procedures for collection of whole gas samples and absorption of CO in liquid and solid alkaline media
2
14
are given. Three C determination procedures that can be used are described. The biogenic fraction
14
is determined using the measured C value. From the calculated biogenic CO fraction, the emitted
2
amount of biogenic and fossil CO can be calculated. Examples are given.
2
5.2 Principles of sampling
5.2.1 General
Sampling of CO in stack gas is in principle not different from sampling of other acid gaseous substances
2
like sulfur dioxide (SO ) or hydrogen chloride (HCl). The CO present in a representative stack gas sample
2 2
is absorbed in an alkaline medium or transferred to a gas bag or lecture bottle and after sampling the
14
collected CO is prepared for C analysis.
2
Standard equipment as used for other gaseous components may be utilized. As CO is present in relatively
2
high concentrations compared to other acidic gaseous substances, the capacity of the absorption media
used requires consideration, an excess of alkaline media shall be used to ensure complete absorption
during the sampling period.
Sampling shall be carried out in accordance with applicable standards.
NOTE Sampling and sampling strategies for continuous and intermittent measurements of stationary source
[4]
emissions are specified, for example, in ISO 10396 and EN 15259. Unlike other species where a concentration is
determined, for biogenic CO a ratio of biogenic CO to the total is determined. Many uncertainties that occur if a
2 2
concentration is actually measured can be excluded if an amount of a component with exactly the same chemical
behaviour as the various CO isotopes is determined instead. Some uncertainties specific for spectroscopic
2
measurement can, however, affect the preferred CO analyser for flow proportional sampling.
2
5.2.2 Grab gas samples
If applicable, use accepted procedures for the collection of gas in gas bags, canisters or gas bottles.
Only gas bags impenetrable to CO shall be used. Most aluminium-lined gas bags are suitable.
2
5.2.3 Absorption samples
When liquid or solid absorbers are used, the CO is collected in a medium containing alkaline reagents.
2
For sampling with liquids, alkaline solutions of, for example, 2 mol/l to 4 mol/l potassium hydroxide
(KOH) or equivalent (sodium hydroxide, NaOH) are suitable. For solid CO absorbers, commercial
2
products are suitable.
After collection of the samples, close the absorbers and ensure that they are gastight, in order to prevent
the ingress of atmospheric CO .

SIST EN ISO 13833:2013
ISO 13833:2013(E)
5.3 14
C measurement techniques
14
The C content of the collected samples can be determined using:
— accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS);
— beta-ionization (BI) measurement (gas proportional counter);
— the liquid scintillation counting technique (LSC).
All sampling methods mentioned in 5.2 are suitable for the collection of CO .
2
14
Depending on the C analysis technique different amounts of sampled CO are required. For AMS
2
measurements the minimum volume of CO is 4 ml. For BI measurements, 2 l to 10 l CO are required.
2 2
For LSC measurements, the required amount of CO depends on the way the sample is prepared for
2
measurement, but at least a few grams are necessary.
6 Reagent, materials and equipment
During the analysis, unless otherwise stated, use only reagents of recognized analytical grade and
distilled or demineralized water or water of equivalent purity containing negligible amounts of
carbonate, i.e. at concentrations that do not contribute significantly to the determinations.
6.1 Reagent. A setup consisting of:
— glass bottle (standard glass sample bottle with plastic screw cap resistant to the alkaline medium used);
— alkaline absorption medium;
2)
— solid absorber suitable for the collection of CO .
2
Mixing of water and NaOH or KOH should be done under the addition of inert gas, in order to reduce
absorption of CO from ambient air and exhalation.
2
For the preparation of a carbonate-free absorption liquid, preparation using freshly opened NaOH or
KOH pellet containers is sufficient. Dissolve the NaOH or KOH pellets in a small amount of water (the
heat produced enhances dissolution). Small amounts of precipitation are an indication of the presence
of sodium carbonate (Na CO ). By decanting the clear phase, the almost carbonate-free solution can be
2 3
diluted to the desired volume. As NaOH dissolution is an exothermic process, take extra care as boiling
of the concentrated solution during dilution can occur.
6.2 Materials and equipment. The components in the sampling device are listed in the following.
— Stack gas flow measurement device (typically based on S-type, P-type or L-type Pitot tube) according
[2]
to ISO 10780.
NOTE 1 Under “steady-state” conditions, the stack gas flow can be calculated from the fuel consumption. If this
is done, no instrumentation for stack gas flow determination is needed.
— Standard equipment for sampling stack gas for main component analysis.
NOTE 2 If a conditioning system for gas analysis is already present, this needs to be taken into consideration in
the sampling plan and part of the conditioned gas used, e.g. using a T-piece somewhere in the sampling line. In these
standard gas conditioning devices, usually a typical gas flow of 60 l/h to 100 l/h is available after conditioning,
— Mass flow controller, externally adjustable. An external adjustable mass flow controller is needed
only for proportional sampling as it is necessary to use the signal obtained from the measurement
of the total flow in the duct to adjust the sampling flow linearly proportionally to it. Use mass flow

— Sample containers.
— Gas sampling: use air tight vessels, compatible with the system design, which includes flexible
bags, evacuated canisters, lecture gas bottles.
— Liquid sampling: use accepted gas wash bottles (e.g. 250 ml glass wash bottles).
— Solid sampling: use air tight container (e.g. glass tube, length by diameter: 200 mm × 18 mm,
with standard fitting).
— Gas analysis system for CO and O measurement.

[3]
Perform any CO , CO, or O measurements required according to ISO 12039.
2 2
Before measurement, the homogeneity of the stack gas shall be tested. Perform homogeneity testing
in accordance with ISO 10396. Use the CO concentration as measurand. If homogeneity testing is
2
successful, sampling can be done on a single point.
Comprehensive measurement planning shall be performed before sampling, taking into consideration
the specific measurement task.
If stack gas pre-sample and analysis equipment is already present, part of this gas sampling stream can
be used to collect the sample. If that is not the case, a probe suitable for gas sampling, equipped with an
in-stack or out of stack filter for removal of particulate matter shall be used, and provisions shall be made
for excess water removal. To ensure representative sampling and to en
