185-72 Framework for Assessing Biogenic CO2 Emissions from Stationary Sources, 2014

Summary

This report presents a methodological framework for assessing the extent to which the production, processing, and use of biogenic material at stationary sources results in a net atmospheric contribution of biogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The framework examines direct emissions of biogenic CO2 from stationary sources that combust or process biogenic material, taking into account factors related to the biological carbon cycle.
