摘要: Abstract This paper studies leakage from the UK natural gas distribution system. British Gas maintains that rate is around 1% of supply. estimates a Low, Medium and High Case 1.9%, 5.3% 10.8% respectively. The authors are confident above 1.9% consider it more likely between Case. investigation has been very cautious in only low pressure, medium pressure service pipelines calculated. No broader supply system have included because lack verifiable information. implications these rates for energy policy considered.
