Enable compliant CO2 reporting and reduce financial risk with verified carbon origin

Waste incineration plants, companies that sell CO2 and actors purchasing green fuels need to document the biogenic share of CO2 in gas and fuels. This applies to the calculation of CO2 tax, where the fossil share must be determined, to the sale of CO2 where customers require documentation of the biogenic share in the delivery, and to the purchase of green fuels from Power-to-X plants, where it must be verified that the specified biogenic share is met. This ensures that the results can be used directly in both regulatory and commercial contexts. The service is available in both Denmark and Norway

Sampling setup used to determine the proportion of biogenic and fossil CO2 in flue gas as part of emission reporting and compliance documentation.
Laboratory setup for biogenic CO2 monitoring for determination of carbon origin under controlled conditions.

Challenges

When CO2 origin is unclear, compliance, reporting and financial decisions become uncertain.

Unclear CO2 tax determination 

Without a clear basis for distinguishing biogenic and fossil CO2, waste incineration plants cannot determine the fossil share used for CO2 tax. This blocks tax calculation and delays reporting to authorities. 

 

Missing documentation of biogenic share limits CO2 sales 

When CO2 is sold without documented biogenic content, customers lack a defined basis for assessing the delivery. This limits how the CO2 can be used and creates uncertainty in customer requirements. 

 

Unverified biogenic share restricts use of green fuels 

When the biogenic share in green fuels from Power-to-X plants is not documented, it is unclear whether specified requirements are met. This prevents the fuel from being validated for its intended use.

Benefits

Enable compliant reporting, reduce financial risk and support CO2-related decisions

Provide a defined basis for CO2 classification

A clear determination of the biogenic share establishes a consistent basis for distinguishing between biogenic and fossil CO2. This enables uniform classification of emissions across different gases, processes and fuels.

Enable consistent and traceable CO2 documentation

Documented results provide a stable and traceable basis for handling CO2 data. This supports consistent use of data across reporting, documentation and verification contexts without reliance on assumptions.

Support validation of CO2-related specifications

Defined data on carbon origin enables verification of specified requirements related to CO2 content. This provides a clear basis for assessing whether gases or fuels meet defined criteria.
