PD CEN/TR 17238:2018CEN/TR 17238:2018 (E) 5 Introduction This standard was prepared by CEN/TC 408 in response to the European Commission standardization mandate M/475. The Mandate asks for t

21、he 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

22、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”. One of the aims of European policy in the

23、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 pr

24、omotion 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 sourc

25、es 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 conne

26、ction, 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 pipelin

27、es in Mandate M/475. Biomethane in this context can be produced from biological (fermentation, digestion ) and thermochemical processes and it is essential that it is appropriate to be used as a blending component to natural gas. PD CEN/TR 17238:2018CEN/TR 17238:2018 (E) 6 1 Scope This document expl

28、ains an approach for assessment of limit values for contaminants that may be found in biomethane. Limit values are generally required as an adjunct to a biomethane specification (such as parts 1 and 2 of EN 16723, or an equivalent National specification) or as part of a Network Entry Agreement for i

29、njection of biomethane into gas networks. The methodology employed will permit derivation of limit values based solely on consideration of potential for impact on human health and does not consider other impacts, such as integrity and operation of plant and pipelines used to convey biomethane or app

30、liances involved in its combustion or other regulations like CLP regulation. Where consideration of such impacts would result in proposing lower limit values than those based on health impacts, then the lowest limit values should generally be proposed. 2 Normative references The following documents

43、can be seen at the US Dept. of Energys Risk Assessment Information System (RAIS) website 9. Conventional health risk assessments aims to assess and quantify the health risk presented by a particular activity. If the risk exceeds a maximum acceptable value, then mitigation actions are assessed and im

44、plemented. In conventional risk assessment, therefore, the output is a (quantified) level of risk associated with the process. However, in the context of specifying limit values for contaminants in biomethane the INVERSE of this risk assessment procedure is followed: an acceptable level of risk is a

45、greed and the activity (in this instance injection of biomethane into natural gas grids) is modified by implementing an appropriate gas quality specification. In this situation, the acceptable level of risk is an input to the risk assessment procedure and the output is a gas quality specification. S

46、uch a specification will contain limit values for content of those contaminants that are likely to be present. NOTE The contaminants that are likely to be present that can present a risk to the environment are commonly called “Chemicals of Potential Concern” (COPCs). Similar approaches have been pre

47、viously employed for development of gas quality specifications for biomethane: in 2008 in France (Afsset 1) and in 2012 in the UK (UK Environment Agency 7). This approach may be used whenever compounds of interest are added in the list of data. In addition, several realistic scenarios should be asse

48、ssed in order to identify the worst case that will lead to the most appropriate limit value. These scenarios depend at least on these elements: The national laws and regulations, The conceptual model designed, The national practices, Specific assumptions. The procedure for assessing limit values in
