"Changing Gas Characteristics—What Does This Mean for Underground Gas Storage Facilities?"

Recent developments regarding EN 16726 / G 260, revised limit values (including sulfur), as well as gas flows, increasing injection of biomethane, and the blending of supplementary gases can alter the composition of the gas injected into storage facilities—and thus have implications for storage operations and facilities. We invite Storage Engineering and Service Companies We invite you to participate in a practical, professional exchange: share the current status and your observations, assess risks, and identify possible courses of action.
