CO2 Emissions
Carbon-14 Testing Services for Biogenic/Biobased Content Determination
In today’s environmentally conscious market, accurately determining the biogenic/biobased content of biofuels, emissions, waste fuels, raw material, end products and natural ingredients is crucial for regulatory compliance, certification, and consumer trust. Traditional methods often fall short in distinguishing between renewable and fossil-derived carbon, leading to potential mislabeling and regulatory issues.
Regulatory frameworks such as ASTM D6866, ISO 16620-2, EN 16640 and ISO 13833 mandate precise verification of biogenic/biobased content in various sample types.
Ensure your products and emissions meet global standards. Contact us for a quote and expert guidance on Carbon-14 testing services.
At SGS Beta, we specialize in Carbon-14 analysis using Accelerator Mass Spectrometry (AMS) to accurately determine the biogenic or biobased content in various materials. Our ISO/IEC 17025-accredited laboratory offers reliable results with fast turnaround times.
