operator has to ensure compliance with the combustion characteristics (e.g.
Wobbe index, heating value and relative density; see Section 16.10 for a
glossary) with the distributed natural gas within local gas network.
Further regulations of the DVGW, as well as DIN standards, have to be
followed when feeding biomethane into supraregional (defined in Section
16.3) transport pipelines. Standards DIN 51624 (DIN, 2008) and CBP 2005-
