  • maakoore tühikuis ja poorseis kihtides sisalduv gaasisegu; on osaliselt lahustunud naftas ning pinna- ja põhjavees, adsorbeerunud kivimeil ja tahkekütustel
  • naturally occurring mixture of gases, both hydrocarbons and non-hydrocarbons, often associated with deposits of petroleum. For domestic and industrial use it can be stored or transported by pipeline, refrigeration, carriers or in drums, in liquefied or gas form.
maagaas preferred
Usage examples
  • Suurim maj. tähtsus on põlevail m-del. Neid leidub maakoore poorseis kihtides omaette (kuivad põlevad m-d) või koos nafta (naftagaasid) või gaasikondensaadiga (gaasikondensaadigaasid), samuti söel jt. tahkekütustel adsorbeerununa (kaevandusgaas). ... Põlevat m-i kasut. pms. kütusena (m-i osa energiatarbimises on 20-25 %) ja keemiatööstuse toorainena ... M-i transporditakse torujuhtmete kaudu.
natural gas
Usage examples
  • This Directive establishes common rules for the transmission, distribution, supply and storage of natural gas. It lays down the rules relating to the organisation and functioning of the natural gas sector, including liquefied natural gas (LNG), access to the market, the operation of systems, and the criteria and procedures applicable to the granting of authorisations for transmission, distribution, supply and storage of natural gas.

natural gas
  • gaas, mille Wobbe'i indeks on vahemikus 41,3 MJ ∙ m-3 kuni 57,9 MJ ∙ m-3 vastavalt standardile EN 437 seotuna kogukütteväärtusega
  • gas having a Wobbe index between: 41,3 MJ ∙ m-3 and 57,9 MJ ∙ m-3 according to EN 437 related on gross calorific value
teise perekonna gaas
Usage examples
  • Teise perekonna gaas ehk maagaas on mitmekülgne fossiilkütus, mis koosneb peamiselt metaanist, mis on miljonite aastate jooksul moodustunud maetud orgaanilisest ainest. Seda gaasi kasutatakse laialdaselt elektri tootmiseks, tööstusprotsessides ja elamute kütmiseks/toiduvalmistamiseks, kuna see põleb puhtamalt kui kivisüsi või nafta. Kuid maagaasi kaevandamine ja transport võivad aga vabastada metaani, mis on tugev kasvuhoonegaas.

2nd family
Usage examples
  • 2nd family or natural gas is a versatile fossil fuel primarily composed of methane, formed over millions of years from buried organic matter. It is widely used for electricity generation, industrial processes, and residential heating/cooking because it burns cleaner than coal or oil. However, its extraction and transport can release methane, a potent greenhouse gas.
