Egyptian Natural Gas Company (GASCO) is a subsidiary of the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company, operating in the field of natural gas transmission, distribution and processing. The company was established in March 1997. GASCO operates the gas grid with total length of 22,000 kilometres (14,000 mi).
Methane (US: / ˈ m ɛ θ eɪ n / METH-ayn, UK: / ˈ m iː θ eɪ n / MEE-thayn) is a chemical compound with the chemical formula CH 4 (one carbon atom bonded to four hydrogen atoms). It is a group-14 hydride, the simplest alkane, and the main constituent of natural gas.
Substitute natural gas (SNG), or synthetic natural gas, is a fuel gas (predominantly methane, CH 4) that can be produced from fossil fuels such as lignite coal, oil shale, or from biofuels (when it is named bio-SNG) or using electricity with power-to-gas systems.
A gas cylinder is used to store gas or liquefied gas at pressures above normal atmospheric pressure. [2] In South Africa, a gas storage cylinder implies a refillable transportable container with a water capacity volume of up to 150 litres. Refillable transportable cylindrical containers from 150 to 3,000 litres water capacity are referred to as ...
Gas import started in April 2015, supplying to the national gas grid after the regasification with quantity of 30 billion cubic feet (850 million cubic metres). [4] In 2012/2013, total net gas production in Egypt reached 2.26 trillion cubic feet per annum (64 billion cubic metres per annum). [5] [6]
Normal high pressure gas cylinders will hold gas at pressures from 200 to 400 bars (3,000 to 6,000 psi). An ideal gas pressurised to 200 bar in a cylinder would contain 200 times as much as the volume of the cylinder at atmospheric pressure, but real gases will contain less than that by a few percent. At higher pressures, the shortfall is greater.

Methane (CH 4) in the Earth's atmosphere is a powerful greenhouse gas with a global warming potential (GWP) 84 times greater than CO 2 over a 20-year time frame. [ 22 ] [ 23 ] Methane is not as persistent as CO 2 , and tails off to about 28 times greater than CO 2 over a 100-year time frame.
