Natural gas - low pressure (natural gas pressure reduction - from high to low pressure)

The activity generating the emissions is natural gas pressure reduction, from high to low pressure. The reference product is natural gas, low pressure. ‘natural gas, low pressure is a fossil fuel, for which a generic gross calorific value (GCV) of 40MJ/m3, a net calorific value (NCV) of 36.0 MJ/m3 and a density of 0.735kg/m3 for natural gas are applied, in line with the global statistics (referring to standard cubic meters, Sm3, measured at 15°C and 1013 mbar). It is used as a gaseous fuel and is sourced from oil and gas production and evaporation of liquid natural gas. Local distribution of natural gas for residential, commercial, and small industrial users in low-pressure networks with an overpressure below 0.1 bar. The reference product amount is 1. The cut-off classification is allocatable product. The activity type is ordinary ordinary transforming activity.
