gázellátó

Gázellátó refers to a natural gas supply system or the entity responsible for providing natural gas. It encompasses the entire network from the source of extraction, through processing, transmission via pipelines, and distribution to end-users. In Hungary, the term "gázellátó" is often used to describe the companies that manage and operate these systems. These companies are responsible for the safe and reliable delivery of natural gas for residential heating, cooking, industrial processes, and electricity generation.

The infrastructure involved in a gázellátó system includes high-pressure transmission pipelines that transport large volumes of gas over long distances, and lower-pressure distribution networks that branch out to serve individual consumers. Pressure regulation stations and metering points are crucial components for ensuring the gas is delivered at the correct pressure and quantity. Safety regulations and maintenance are paramount for the operation of any gázellátó, as natural gas is a flammable substance. End-users rely on the gázellátó for a consistent supply, and any interruption can have significant consequences. The economic and environmental impact of natural gas supply is also a key consideration for these operators.
