Foreword
Most chemicals are produced using fossil
feedstocks, but there is now a growing number of compounds made using biomass
feedstocks. There are different methods for accounting for the biological
carbon content of chemicals which are often synthesised through a complex
process involving a number of different feedstock sources and a range of
products. ISCC Plus is a methodology which allows bio-derived carbon which is
being used as a feedstock for many different chemical products to be attributed
to a particular product made during the process. In reality the bio-derived
carbon in the feedstock will likely be spread throughout the range of products.
Other methodologies such as DIN CERTO use the ASTM D6866 radiocarbon method to measure the carbon 14 content of a product to directly
determine the level of biogenic carbon in the product.
