Contribution of LNG Use for the Low Calorific Natural Gas Network's Safe and Sustainable Operation

This paper provides an overview of challenges which are being faced by the German industry, especially by its gas sector. It focuses on the feasibility of the use of liquefied natural gas (further referred to as LNG) in the German natural gas networks in order to substitute natural gas from some sources being depleted. The paper highlights technical requirements which must be matched to allow the injection of LNG into the German natural gas networks. Technical efforts to prepare LNG from different sources are calculated and shown below.
