 For processing of sour gas, data of the BVEG (the former WEG) for the period since 2000 are used. This data is the result of the BVEG members' own measurements and calculations. For calculation of emissions from sour-gas processing, a split factor of 0.4 relative to the activity data is applied. That split factor is based on the BVEG report [(BVEG2022)] on sour-gas processing. For processing of sour gas, data of the BVEG (the former WEG) for the period since 2000 are used.

 Most of the gas extracted in Germany is moved via pipelines from gas fields and their pumping stations (either on land or off the coast). Imported gas is also transported mainly via pipelines. Most of the gas extracted in Germany is moved via pipelines from gas fields and their pumping stations (either on land or off the coast).

 The emission factors are country-specific, and they were determined via the research project by DVGW and GWI [(GWI2022)]. They include start-stopp loses at all enduser devices. The study covers methane only. The appropriate NMVOC factor was derived from the publication [(UBA2022)] (refer to chapter 6). The emission factors are country-specific, and they were determined via the research project by DVGW and GWI [(GWI2022)].

 Use of vehicles running on natural gas continues to increase in Germany. Such vehicles are refuelled at CNG fuelling stations connected to the public gas network. In such refuelling, compressors move gas from high-pressure on-site tanks. Some 900 CNG fuelling stations are now in operation nationwide. In keeping with the stringent safety standards applying to refuelling operations and to the tanks themselves, the pertinent emissions are very low. In the main, emissions result via tank pressure tests and emptying processes. Use of vehicles running on natural gas continues to increase in Germany.
