Abstract
The paper presents a technique for measuring the concentration of 13CH4 in natural methane using Raman spectroscopy. The peak positions and the relative scattering cross-sections of the Q-branches for the most intense vibrational bands of 13CH4 are determined. Features of the 13CH4/12CH4 ratio measurement methods using Q-branches of the ν1 and ν3 bands were considered. It was shown that the 13CH4/12CH4 ratio can be determined by simulation of the ν3 bands of these molecules without the use of experimental spectra. In our experiments the measurement error of δ13C value was 10 ‰ using the 100-s exposure spectrum at a gas pressure close to 1 atm recorded on the developed Raman spectrometer. In addition, the Raman spectra of alkanes (up to n-hexane) in the range of 2850-3050 cm-1 at a resolution of 0.4 cm-1 are presented, and their integrated intensities in the ranges of the characteristic bands of 13CH4 and 12CH4 are provided. The data obtained make it possible to expand the capabilities of Raman gas analyzers in the mud gas logging industry.

Abstract
The development of renewable and low-carbon gases for injection into the gas grid obtained by different processes such as anaerobic digestion, pyrogasification, hydrothermal gasification, and methanation, followed by upgrading steps, increases the demand for analysis and characterization in order to fully manage their integration into the gas value chain. If the analysis of the main compounds (methane, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide) is well described, the analysis of impurities in renewable gases remains more challenging due to their various natures and quantities. After a brief description of renewable and low-carbon methane production processes, the review focuses on the methods used for the analysis of the different compounds in renewable gases, from the main ones to impurities at ppbv levels. Gas chromatography (GC), coupled with different detectors, is the preferred technique, enabling the analysis and quantification of siloxanes, terpenes, oxygenates, and sulfur compounds. Recently, comprehensive two-dimensional GC has been applied to renewable gases, increasing the number of compounds detected. Non-chromatographic techniques are also reviewed. As sampling is of major importance in the search for reliable analyses, a whole section is devoted to this aspect. Among the available methods, pre-concentration on adsorbent tubes emerges as the most relevant solution.

Abstract
Raman spectroscopy is a promising tool for measuring the composition of natural gas. However, to obtain high measurement accuracy, it is necessary to take into account changes in the spectral characteristics of methane, since its spectrum overlaps the characteristic bands of other species. In this study we present a technique for natural gas analysis based on polarized Raman spectroscopy. It is shown that the use of only isotropic components of spectra simplifies the procedure for extracting concentrations and improves the measurement accuracy of components whose spectral bands are significantly overlapped in conventional Raman spectra. The presented technique will be very useful both in the field of analysis of various multicomponent gas mixtures and in the field of measuring the isotopic composition of molecules.

Abstract
Measurements of isotope ratios are predominantly made with reference to standard specimens that have been characterized in the past. In the 1950s, the carbon isotope ratio was referenced to a belemnite sample collected by Heinz Lowenstam and Harold Urey1 in South Carolina's Pee Dee region. Due to the exhaustion of the sample since then, reference materials that are traceable to the original artefact are used to define the Vienna Pee Dee Belemnite (VPDB) scale for stable carbon isotope analysis2. However, these reference materials have also become exhausted or proven to exhibit unstable composition over time3, mirroring issues with the international prototype of the kilogram that led to a revised International System of Units4. A campaign to elucidate the stable carbon isotope ratio of VPDB is underway5, but independent measurement techniques are required to support it. Here we report an accurate value for the stable carbon isotope ratio inferred from infrared absorption spectroscopy, fulfilling the promise of this fundamentally accurate approach6. Our results agree with a value recently derived from mass spectrometry5, and therefore advance the prospects of SI-traceable isotope analysis. Further, our calibration-free method could improve mass balance calculations and enhance isotopic tracer studies in CO2 source apportionment.
