DOE publishes BiCRS LCA Best Practices aligned to ISO 14040/14044

The U.S. Department of Energy published 'Best Practices for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of Biomass Carbon Removal and Storage (BiCRS) Technologies' — an official guidance document explicitly positioned as a companion to ISO 14040 (principles/framework) and ISO 14044 (requirements/guidelines). The document provides specific methodological recommendations for conducting LCAs on carbon dioxide removal technologies, including cradle-to-grave system boundaries, co-product allocation hierarchies, standardized uncertainty quantification protocols, and induced land use change emissions accounting. Compliance-relevant for DOE-funded projects, procurement programs, and carbon removal accounting where government-backed methodological expectations apply.
