A new ASTM International standard will be used to provide reference scenarios when evaluating the relative sustainability of bioproducts. ASTM’s committee on bioenergy and industry chemicals from biomass ( E48 ) developed the new standard, which fills a current need for a guide for developing reference scenarios and conditions. The new standard ( E3256 ) provides guidelines and criteria to…, Media Inquiries:, Jaime Martorana, tel +1.610.832.9796; jmartorana@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Brian Milewski, tel +1.610.832.9619; bmilewski@astm.org Release #11134 ###

A new ASTM International standard could help both with contingency planning for oil spills as well as management of oil spills. According to ASTM International member Merv Fingas, the new guide standardizes the way laboratories both prepare and measure “weathered oil,” which is naturally different from the “source oil” at a facility. “This is important because, after an oil spill occurs, the…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Travis Murdock, tel +1.610.832.9826; tmurdock@astm.org Release #10771

ASTM International’s bioenergy and industrial-chemicals-from-biomass committee ( E48 ) is creating a standard that will help companies that produce biofuel using – in part – kernel fiber. This fiber was approved as a “cellulosic feedstock” by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 2014. As such, renewable biofuel that is produced using kernel fiber as a feedstock can qualify as cellulosic…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Brian Milewski, tel +1.610.832.9619; bmilewski@astm.org Release #10634

A new ASTM International test method will help determine the carbonyl content of thermochemically derived bio-oils. Carbonyls contribute to instability during storage and processing of bio-oils. “This new standard provides a simple way to measure carbonyl content. This can help determine the quality of a bio-oil that will undergo further upgrading to fuels and chemicals,” says ASTM member Earl…, Media Inquiries:, Dan Bergels, tel +1.610.832.9602; dbergels@astm.org, Committee Contact:, Brian Milewski, tel +1.610.832.9619; bmilewski@astm.org Release #10518
