Which is the pressure of the "Natural gas, high pressure" and "Natural gas, low pressure" in Ecoinvent 3.10.1?

Question

I would like to know the pressure value related to the product flows "Natural gas, high pressure" and "Natural gas, low pressure" present in the Ecoinvent database (version 3.10.1). Thanks in advance for your support.

Dear Francesca,

Please check the flow description inside the corresponding product flows in openLCA. We use the flow descriptions from ecoinvent inside openLCA for these cases. You just need to open the product flow and you will find that the low-pressure networks for residential and small industries are below 0.1 bar and the initial overpressure of the natural gas in high-pressure networks for large industries is around 1 - 5 bar.

Best wishes,

Conrad
