Analyses of Biofuels and Biomass

During the past years, scientific consensus has been reached concerning the impact of industrial activities on the climate of our planet: the huge emission of CO2 significantly re-enforces the greenhouse effect, resulting in severe climate disruptions due to the elevated temperatures throughout the globe.

The use of biomass as a renewable energy source can help to reduce CO2 emissions. Moreover, biologically derived fuels are mixed with conventional petroleum products to likewise mitigate the CO2 effect and ease pressure on scarce oil reserves. TLR offers a wide array of analyses on both biomass and biofuels to determine, among others, caloric values, chemical content (C,H,N, S, F, Cl), moisture, ash, and volatile matter content and the CO2 emission factor.

Analyses of Biofuels & Biomass

• Determination of total moisture
• Determination of ash
• Determination of volatile matter
• Determination of carbon, nitrogen and hydrogen and sulphur
• Determination of fluoride and chloride
• Determination of gross and net caloric value
• Determination of the CO2 emission factor
