| 1 | This standard prescribes the requirements and the methods of sampling and test for biogas (biomethane) to be used in stationary engines, automotive [bio-CNG/compressed biogas (CBG)], thermal, and industrial applications as supplied in cylinders and through piped network. | |
| 2 | This (second) revision has been brought out on request of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) to facilitate distribution of biomethane through blending with existing natural gas infrastructure, including city gas distribution (CGD) network. Hence, the following major changes have been made: a) Methane content increased to 95 mol percent; b) CO2 + N2 + O2 content decreased to 5 mol percent; c) Content of total sulphur (including H2S) aligned with PNGRB (Access Code for Common Carrier or Contract Carrier Natural Gas Pipelines) Regulations 2008; d) Test methods updated; and e) Provision for use of composite cylinders for on-board storage of fuel for automotives included in supply clause through reference to IS 15935. | |
