Natural gas is a fossil fuel composed mainly of methane. It is used as an energy source for heating, electricity generation, and as a fuel for vehicles.
The Nord Stream 1 pipeline is a major natural gas pipeline that runs under the Baltic Sea, connecting Russia to Germany, facilitating the transport of natural gas to Europe.
Reverse flows in gas pipelines refer to the ability to send gas in the opposite direction, allowing flexibility in supply and demand management across different regions.
Gazprom is a state-owned gas company in Russia, one of the largest producers of natural gas in the world, responsible for the extraction, production, and distribution of gas.
A metering point is a location where the flow of gas or electricity is measured, allowing operators to monitor and manage energy distribution effectively.
