Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- Uztransgaz joint stock company modernized 60,000 km of gas distribution network, which will allow to decrease gas leakage volume by 191 million cubic meters of gas a year in line with the forecasts.
Uztransgaz developed and realizes six Clean Development Mechanism Projects on decrease in leaks of gas in gas distribution networks of low and average pressure in Tashkent city and cities of Tashkent region, and Fergana Valley, Samarkand, Syrdarya, Jizzakh, Surkhandarya, Kashkadarya, Bukhara, Navoi, Khorezm regions and Republics of Karakalpakstans.
Six CDM projects attracted US$22 million foreign investments. Investors of projects on decrease in leaks of nature gas distribution networks of low and average pressure were Masdar (United Arab Emirates), ME Bank Limited (Australia), Climate Change Capital (Great Britain).
The projects are directed at reducing leaks in a land infrastructure of gas distribution system of Uztransgaz, namely in latches with gland sealants. Realization of projects on reduction in gas losses will allow raising cons technical and economic indicators of the joint-stock с from the point of view of technical equipment, cc stability and environmental impact.
The purpose of the projects is to reduce leaks of natural gas in gas-transport system on the basis of modern technologies, advanced methods of detecting leaks. Works under projects include inspection of gas distribution points, detection and measurement of volume of leaks, their elimination and repeated inspection in line with supervision principles of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
By results of carrying out of technical works calculation of reduction of emissions and release of the certificated emissions reductions (CER) is carried out. On gas distribution points and on other ground installations equipment pipes, latches, flanges, fittings, lines with the open ends, mane and pneumatic devices, which promote control and management of gas feed to consumers are established. Within the borders established by the project, all latches are repaired and completed by the modern sealing materials Gore-Tex completely eliminating available leaks of gas on revealed knots.
All six projects were approved by Executive Committee of the UNFCCC and verified by representatives of TUV-Rheinland (Germany). At the given stage all repair works on ground gas distribution points is finished and ready to an independent estimation and definition of actual reduction of natural gas emissions.
Along with carried out projects on reduction of gad leaks in gas distribution networks of low and average pressure, Uztransgaz pays attention to construction of the objects promoting improvement of gas distribution in Uzbekistan. The company will implement projects with total volume of investments for US$83.1 million in 2013.
