Standard Practice for Collection of Integrated Samples for the Speciation of Biomass (Biogenic) and Fossil-Derived Carbon Dioxide Emitted from Stationary Emissions Sources
固定排放源排放的生物质(生物)和化石衍生二氧化碳形态综合样品收集的标准规程
1.1
This practice defines specific procedures for the collection of gas samples from stationary emission sources for subsequent laboratory determination of the ratio of biomass (biogenic) carbon to total carbon (fossil derived carbon plus biomass or biogenic carbon) in accordance with Test Methods
D6866
.
1.2
This practice applies to stationary sources that burn municipal solid waste or a combination of fossil fuel (for example, coal, oil, natural gas) and biomass fuel (for example, wood, wood waste, paper, agricultural waste, biogas) in boilers, combustion turbines, incinerators, kilns, internal combustion engines and other combustion devices.
1.3
This practice applies to the collection of integrated samples over periods from 1 h to 24 h, or longer.
1.4
The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.5
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.6
This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
====== Significance And Use ======
5.1
Greenhouse gases are reported to be a major contributor to global warming. Since “biomass CO
2
” emitted from combustion devices represents a net-zero carbon contribution to the atmosphere (that is, plants remove CO
2
from the atmosphere and subsequent combustion returns it), it does not contribute additional CO
2
to the atmosphere. The measurement of biomass (biogenic) CO
2
allows regulators and stationary source owners/operators to determine the ratio of fossil-derived CO
2
and biomass CO
2
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 CO
2
has financial, control and regulatory implications.
