To ensure proper gas supply parameters, to the polish natural gas distribution network, which includes about 900 pressure reduction stations (PRS), requires high energy consumption for gas heating, that amounts to approx. 700 TJ/year. This value can be significantly reduced by using renewable energy sources (e.g. ground heat exchangers, heat pumps) in polish gas preheating PRS. This paper presents the analysis of some applications for gas preheating by using gas absorption heat pump and combination of heat pump and ground heat exchanger. The results confirm a noticeable heat energy savings at the PRS by 44%.
