The industrial sector refers to consumers with an annual consumption equal or above 2,200,000 KWh Gross Calorific Value of natural gas (approximately 200,000 Nm3 annually), whose activity is either production or manufacturing.
Natural gas offers industry increased efficiency, with fewer emissions, while a large number of small and large businesses using natural gas can effectively cut operational costs and upgrade their production procedures, eventually leading to improved quality of their final products.
Natural gas can be either for thermal or chemical use (as a raw material for the industry), as well as in Electricity Heating Co-generation systems, which simultaneously generate usable electric power and thermal energy. The energy generated can be both for thermal use and cooling or air-conditioning.
Natural gas is today used for combined heat and power in industrial sectors like food, metallurgy and textiles, in large greenhouses, as well as in the major commercial sectors (hospitals, hotels, etc).
Currently, total industrial use of natural gas in regions where a network is available is approximately 90%. DEPA has signed natural gas sales contracts with 167 small and 25 large industrial units (of an annual consumption of over 100 GWh).
