This type includes:

  • production of gaseous fuels for energy supply through a gas distribution network (e.g. by carbonation of coal, gasification of lignite, electrolysis or methanisation)
  • production of gaseous fuels for energy supply with a specified calorific value, by purification, blending and other processes from gases of various types, including natural gas or hydrogen
  • production of biogas for the purpose of gas supply (e.g. from sewage sludge, manure, waste)
  • production of gaseous biofuels for energy supply through a gas distribution network
