For what purpose is radiocarbon dating used?

Radiocarbon dating is a tool for archaeologists to know the age of materials. The method can tell scientists when a living organism died but not how it died. Radiocarbon dating has an industrial application developed by the ASTM. The method, called ASTM D6866, quantifies the biomass fraction of materials. The USDA BioPreferred Program, for example, requires ASTM D6866 to determine the biobased content of products. The US EPA also requires ASTM D6866 to determine the biogenic or renewable carbon fraction of carbon dioxide emissions from manufacturing plants that use a mix of coal and biomass as fuels.
