Gaseous fuels code description

Category Name: Gaseous Fuels

Gaseous Fuels is a category that encompasses various types of fuels in a gaseous state, providing an efficient and clean energy source for a wide range of applications. Within this category, there are three subcategories:

1. Coal gas, mains gas, or similar gases: This subcategory includes fuels derived from coal or other sources, such as synthetic gases, which are commonly used for heating, cooking, and industrial processes.

2. Propane and butane: Propane and butane are commonly used as fuels for heating, cooking, and transportation. These gases are stored in pressurized containers and are widely utilized in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.

3. Natural gas: Natural gas, a fossil fuel primarily composed of methane, is a versatile and widely available energy source. It is commonly used for heating, electricity generation, cooking, and as a fuel for vehicles.

By categorizing gaseous fuels, this classification system simplifies the procurement process, enabling suppliers and contracting authorities in the European Union to easily identify and access relevant notices related to these specific types of fuels.
