In Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), the accounting of biogenic carbon is little harmonized. Different, even contradictory, approaches are identified in current standards for different sectors of the economy (biofuel, bio-based plastics, construction, etc.). The general objectives of this study are to identify the issues at stake in these approaches, in order to issue recommendations for several actors.
