Gas Transmission System Optimization with Natural Gas Transportation
Abstract
In connection with the heated political situation to the east of the European Union (EU) borders, there is a growing interest in the discovery of new reserves of natural gas or new suppliers of this fossil fuel. This situation consequently requires new and unconventional ways of solving the storage and transportation of gas in large quantities and over long distances. The following article discusses the methods of storage and transportation of natural gas through the gas network.

Introduction
Natural gas consumption is uneven throughout the year, it can fluctuate, and therefore the gas is stored. In addition to natural gas reservoirs and gas pipelines, the gas system consists of several important parts and components.
Conclusion
The costs of construction, operation, or modernization of the gas network together with natural gas storages represent a significant investment for their developer or operator. The time required for construction plays an equally important role. It is therefore necessary to carefully consider the use of currently existing networks as well as storage facilities as well as the construction of new ones.
New deposits and new forms of natural gas transportation, as well as the search for new sources of energy, could bring about a stable operation of the world economy again in the future without deepening the ongoing climate change.
