What is the Mass Balance Approach?
- *Mass Balance Approach
In the processing and distribution stages from raw materials to finished products, when a material with specific characteristics (e.g., biomass-derived feedstock) is mixed with other materials (e.g., petroleum-derived feedstock), the mass balance approach allocates those characteristics to a portion of the product based on the input amount of the specified material.
