General
- Carbon dioxide emissions from biogenic carbon occur during the combustion of biomass (e.g. in the form of biofuels such as biogas) or from certain land use management practices. If any of these are relevant to your organization, you should respond “Yes”. In this context, “relevant” is as defined in the GHG Protocol’s Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (page 8), meaning “that it contains the information that users—both internal and external to the company—need for their decision making”.
Explanation of terms
- Biogenic carbon: Refers to carbon which is contained in biomass (both above-ground and below-ground), dead organic matter, soil organic matter, and harvested products.
