Industrialists must comply with strict regulations concerning their CO₂ emissions, particularly within the framework of European programs like the EU ETS (Emissions Trading System).
The precise analysis of the biogenic fraction in biogas and flue gases, carried out according to ASTM D6866 and NF EN ISO 13833 standards, is essential for determining compliance with emission limits and for justifying the reduction of the carbon footprint. This analysis also allows for reliable certification, highlighting companies' efforts in sustainable development.

Depending on the fuel burned, emissions and smoke contain more or less biogenic CO₂. CIRAM analyzes this bio-based proportion using the radiocarbon method in accordance with NF EN ISO 13833 and ASTM D6866 standards.
The analysis measures the carbon 14 concentration to distinguish biogenic carbon (from organic matter like wood or biomass) from fossil carbon (from coal or oil). After collecting the CO₂ sample from the chimney outlet, CIRAM determines the percentage of renewable carbon.
In addition to flue gas analysis, CIRAM also specializes in the analysis of biogas itself. Thanks to the ASTM D6866 standard, our laboratories accurately measure the proportion of bio-based material contained in your biogas, but also in other fuels such as liquids and solids.
Request a quoteThe use of biogas and biomass allows industrial players to reduce their net CO₂ emissions, as biogenic carbon is considered carbon-neutral. By analyzing the share of renewable carbon, companies can adjust their energy strategy and comply with greenhouse gas reduction targets, improving their carbon footprint.
This approach supports sustainable development and environmental responsibility initiatives, which are crucial for meeting increasingly strict climate regulations.
Industrialists must comply with strict standards regarding their CO₂ emissions, particularly within the framework of programs like the EU ETS (Emissions Trading System).
The analysis of biogas and CO emissions2 allows for precise measurement of the bio-based carbon content, essential for determining compliance with emission limits. Through accurate and certified reports, companies can ensure regulatory compliance and avoid penalties while optimizing their processes toreduce their carbon footprint.
Analyzing the composition of biogas and fumes allows industrialists to adjust their combustion processes to maximize energy efficiency. By knowing the share of biogenic carbon, companies can optimize combustion parameters, reduce pollutant production, and improve plant performance. This translates into reduced energy costs, better resource management, and a decreased environmental impact.
This optimization is essential to ensure the sustainable use of fuels and to meet industrial performance targets.
With over 20 years of expertise in radiocarbon analysis, CIRAM offers a rigorous and precise evaluation of your biogas and flue gases, in compliance with the most demanding standards.
Thanks to high-precision equipment, we ensure reliable results, even for complex samples. This advanced technology makes it possible to quantify the share of biogenic carbon compared to fossil carbon, thus offering an essential measurement for optimizing your carbon footprint.
The results are produced according to ASTM D6866 and NF EN ISO 13833 standards, which are widely recognized in the industry. Benefit from the expertise of the French leader in radiocarbon dating and request your study on our website.
Contact our teamsRadiocarbon analysis measures the concentration of carbon-14 in biogas and flue gas to determine the proportion of biosourced carbon (from biomass) in relation to fossil carbon.
Flue gas analysis is carried out by taking samples of CO₂ directly from the outlet of industrial chimneys using specific bags or soda lime cartridges. Fine particles present on filters installed on industrial stacks can also be sampled.
CIRAM uses internationally recognized standards such as ASTM D6866 and ISO 13833 to guarantee the reliability and accuracy of radiocarbon analyses.
Results are available within 10 working days.
