Scope

Standardisation of an existing method (named "Tar Guideline") for the measurement of organic contaminants (tar) in biomass producer gases which are formed by thermal decomposition of biomass at sub stoichiometric cibfutuibs (pyrolisis, gasification) and which are typically used to produce electricity, heat or gaseous or liquid biofuels. The method also allows measuring particles in these gases.
