EN 16723-1:2016 (E) 4 Introduction This European Standard was prepared by CEN/TC 408 in response to the European Commission standardization mandate M/475. The Mandate asks for the development of a set of quality specifications for biomethane to be used as a fuel for vehicle engines and to be injected in natural gas pipelines (network). However, the scope of the standard was widened according to BT decision C109/2012 that redefined the scope of CEN/TC 408: “Standardization of specifications for natural gas and biomethane as vehicle fuel and of biomethane for injection in the natural gas grid, including any necessary related methods of analysis and testing. Production process, source and the origin of the source are excluded”. NOTE The CEN Technical Board (CEN/BT) is responsible to coordinate the work between technical bodies in order to achieve a coherent set of standards and to avoid overlaps. One of the aims of European policy in the field of energy is to increase the security of energy supply in the EU as well as to contribute to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases accepted by the EU at Kyoto. In this context, a special focus is given to the development and use of energy from renewable sources. Directive 2009/28/EC on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources and amending and subsequently repealing Directives 2001/77/EC and 2003/30/EC stipulates clear aims regarding the percentage of renewables in EU energy consumption and states the related need to support the integration of energy from renewable sources into the energy networks including the establishment of appropriate technical rules in line with Directive 2003/55/EC (Article 6) replaced by 2009/73/EC (Article 8) for the realization of the competitive single European Gas Market and the technical interoperability of gas networks, (network connection, gas quality, gas odorization and gas pressure requirements). Supporting the EU policy and therefore the maximization of the production and use of biomethane and considering the absence of standards the European Commission DG ENER has included the injection of biomethane in natural gas pipelines in Mandate M/475. Biomethane in this context can be produced from biological (fermentation, digestion …) and thermochemical processing of biomass and is appropriate to be used as a blending component to natural gas. A special focus is given to the development and use of energy from renewable sources of biological and non-biological origin. Other gases complying with this standard can be injected. Figure 1 provides a visual representation of some applications of biomethane. Mandate M/475 indicates that the requirements for natural gas quality for injection in the natural gas network are developed by CEN/TC 234 in answer to Mandate M/400 on natural gas quality. CEN/TC 408 should consider the work of the pending mandate M/400 on gas quality, and should refer to the parameters as defined and specified in EN 16726. This standard should exclude the definition of any parameters or substances that are addressed in EN 16726. However, it may specify more strict limits for parameters or substances unique to biomethane if deemed technically necessary. If needed, additional parameters or substances should be defined.

Note 2 to entry: MN expresses the volume percentage of methane in a methane/hydrogen mixture which, in a test engine under standard conditions, has the same tendency to knock as the gaseous fuel to be examined. 3.9 natural gas complex gaseous mixture of hydrocarbons, primarily methane, but generally includes ethane, propane and higher hydrocarbons, and some non-combustible gases such as nitrogen and carbon dioxide Note 1 to entry: Natural gas can also contain components or contaminants such as sulfur compounds and/or other chemical species. 3.10 natural gas network either transmission network or local distribution system 3.11 non-grid sourced natural gas natural gas non coming from the natural gas network 3.12 odorization addition of odorants to gas (normally odourless) to allow gas leaks to be recognized by smell at trace levels (before accumulating to dangerous concentrations in air) 3.13 syngas gas, comprising principally of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, obtained from gasification of fossil fuel 3.14 upgrading of biogas removal of carbon dioxide and contaminants from biogas 3.15 water dew point temperature temperature above which no condensation of water occurs at a specified pressure 3.16 Wobbe index volumetric-basis heating value, at specified reference conditions, divided by the square root of the relative density at the same specified metering reference conditions SIST EN 16723-1:2017



EN 16723-1:2016 (E) 8 4 Parameters and test methods 4.1 General This section deals with the various parameters for which requirements are given. Natural gas, biomethane and blends of those intended for injection into natural gas networks shall be free from any constituents or impurities other than the ones described in this standard, to the extent that it cannot be transported, stored or utilized without quality adjustment or treatment. In the case of such other constituents and/or impurities, it may be necessary to obtain an approval from the competent and legitimate authority to define the acceptable risk in the territory of the injection point. 4.2 Standard reference conditions Unless stated otherwise, all volumes are for the real dry gas at ISO Standard Reference conditions of 15 °C and 101,325 kPa. Unless stated otherwise, all calorific values and Wobbe index are for the real dry gas at ISO Standard Reference conditions of: — 15 °C (combustion); — and 15 °C and 101,325 kPa (metering). In assessing compliance with this European Standard, parameters should be determined directly at ISO standard reference conditions. If the properties are only available at other reference conditions and the actual gas composition is not known then conversion to ISO standard reference conditions shall be carried out using the procedure described in EN ISO 13443. 4.3 Applicable requirements and test methods for biomethane for injection in the natural gas network Biomethane shall meet the requirements of EN 16726 for common parameters and Table 1 only for parameters specific to biomethane. Health criteria assessment for biomethanes is complex and dependent upon the biogas feedstock and upgrading and purification process. As a result, it is recommended that contaminants to be specified and limits to be applied are assessed at national level using an appropriate methodology. An example of such a methodology is provided in CEN/TR, Proposed limit values for contaminants in biomethane based on health assessment criteria (WI 00408007)1). Table 1 provides common requirements for injection into H and L gas systems. For injection into L gas systems, national requirements for Wobbe index, relative density, and CO2 shall be applied when appropriate.
