1. What exactly is biomethane?
3. How do I get started as an injector?
The process begins with the installation of a digestion plant. Once the plant is operational, organic waste streams can be converted into biogas. This biogas is then upgraded to natural gas quality, ensuring compliance with the required standards.
Mandatory quality controls
To guarantee gas quality, several mandatory quality checks must be performed at specific stages. The following gas analyses are part of this process:
24-hour initial test
• One-time mandatory test
• The first quality check to determine if the gas meets the required standards
• The injector is responsible for the cost of this test
Four-week monitoring
• One-time mandatory test
• Continuous monitoring of the gas composition and THT content for four weeks
• Costs covered by Netbeheer Nederland
Biannual quality control
• Recurring mandatory test
• Conducted by an accredited independent organization such as Kiwa
• The injector is responsible for the cost of this test
Monthly odor control
• Recurring mandatory test to check detectability and THT levels
• Ensures the gas has a recognizable odor for household safety
• Costs covered by Netbeheer Nederland
Ensuring compliance
By following this process carefully, you ensure that your biomethane meets all requirements and can be safely injected into the natural gas network.
