National Gas has seen a significant increase in the number of enquiries from biomethane developers for connections to the NTS. ​ 

​There are currently circa 66 projects the connections team have identified as having NTS connection potential, with an associated volume of 5.9TWh per annum.​ 

​Developers are attracted to the NTS for numerous reasons, but the following are the main drivers:​ 

• ​No injection of propane or odorant  
• Capacity and capability  

To speed up time to connect to a biomethane facility this project was developed to produce an innovative standardised design for a Minimum Offtake Connection (MOC) in a pit.
