 The emissions caused by gas distribution have decreased slightly, even though gas throughput has increased considerably and the distribution network has been enlarged considerably with respect to its size in 1990. One important reason for this improvement is that the gas-distribution network has been modernised, especially in eastern Germany. In particular, the share of grey cast-iron lines in the low-pressure network has been reduced, with such lines being supplanted by low-emissions plastic pipelines. Another reason for the reduction is that fugitive losses in distribution have been reduced through a range of technical improvements (tightly sealing fittings such as flanges, valves, pumps, compressors) undertaken in keeping with emissions-control provisions in relevant regulations (TA Luft (1986) and TA Luft (2002)). The emissions caused by gas distribution have decreased slightly, even though gas throughput has increased considerably and the distribution network has been enlarged considerably with respect to its size in 1990.

 +In the 1990s, town gas (=coal gas) was supplied to households via distribution systems in East Germany and West-Berlin. The composition of coal gas varied in the different regions, consisting of hydrogen, carbon monoxide, methane and nitrogene.

-The emission factors are country-specific, and they were determined via the research project "Methane emissions via gas use in Germany from 1990 to 1997, with an outlook for 2010" ( Methanemissionen durch den Einsatz von Gas in Deutschland von 1990 bis 1997 mit einem Ausblick auf 2010) Fraunhofer ISI (2000) [(REICHERTSCHOEN2020)]. To receive appropriate NMVOC emission factors the gas composition was considered. +The emission factors are country-specific, and they were determined via the research project "Methane emissions via gas use in Germany from 1990 to 1997, with an outlook for 2010" ( Methanemissionen durch den Einsatz von Gas in Deutschland von 1990 bis 1997 mit einem Ausblick auf 2010) Fraunhofer ISI (2000) [(REICHERTSCHOEN2020)]. Pursuant to Arbeitsblatt [Worksheet] G 600(Technische Regel fuer Gasinstallationen [(DVGW2018)] of the German Technical and Scientific Association for Gas and Water (DVGW), a leakage rate of 0-1 l CH4/h has no affect on an installation's functionality. When a leak test shows that an installation is leaking a rate higher than that figure, the installation has to be repaired within the short term. National experts thus consider a value of 2 m³ CH4/year to be suitable. To receive appropriate NMVOC emission factors the gas composition was considered.
