Gaseous Biofuels Carbon Intensity – Consultation on recommended methodology
About the consultation
Bioenergy Association has been undertaking a project to develop a standardised methodology for identifying the renewable origin of feedstocks and calculating the carbon intensity of biogas and biomethane produced from anaerobic digestion, landfill gas, and municipal wastewater treatment. This methodology will be used for Renewable Gas Certificates and by gas users to calculate GHG emissions.
As biomethane and biogas become more common, including for grid injection, a consistent approach to measuring carbon intensity is needed. The project team has reviewed international standards to create a draft New Zealand carbon intensity methodology, guided by an industry steering group.
- The draft recommendation for a methodology is now available for public consultation, and we welcome your feedback.
- Literature Review - Methods for accounting for the Carbon Intensity of Biomethane
- How are emissions allocated across the co-products?
The Bioenergy Association invites all interested parties to attend the Consultation being held on 18 February, where the key points of the draft recommendations will be discussed, followed by opportunities for questions and input.
- Draft will be open for public consultation from Friday 14th February (public feedback invited - please admin [at] bioenergy.org.nz (email Bioenergy Association))
- Public consultation webinar 18th February Gaseous Biofuels Carbon Intensity – Consultation on recommended methodology | Bioenergy Association of New Zealand
- Public consultation to be open for 16 days and close 2nd March
- Final Document to be completed 28th March
