Procedures, products, materials, components and equipment applicable to high pressure gas transmission networks.

Draft regulation of the national gas transmission network.

The Regulation lays down, inter alia, the technical and safety conditions to be met by the design, construction, operation, maintenance and out-of-service of the infrastructure of the National Gas Transport Network. One of the main aspects of the Regulation is the consideration of the use of the NGS networks and infrastructures by homogeneous blending of natural gas with renewable gases and low-carbon gases in the quotas stipulated therein, as well as the possible existence of network sections operated exclusively with gases from renewable resources (hydrogen). It is also intended to ensure the appropriate flow of gas, interoperability with the networks to which they are connected, the safety of persons and goods and the preservation of the environment.
