Methodology for Differentiating Source and Provenance of Biofuels Feedstock
A promising application of the Stable Isotope Ratio Analysis (SIRA) analysis technique to the problem of identifying biofuels geographical and botanical origin is presented.
The suitability of SIRA for biofuels is tested on a group of samples of biological materials covering the actual materials currently available in the Italian market of biofuels production. The potential use of this technique in support of biofuels sustainability certification schemes currently under development is also discussed.
Given the overall limited dimension of the sample that has been possible to make available for the analysis, the study shows a very interesting potential of the SIRA technique for this new application.
