Greening the gas network - The need for modelling the distributed injection of alternative fuels

The recent unfolding of natural gas sources, especially unconventional gas shales and substituted natural gas from renewables, can boost the transition toward a low carbon energy system. However, it is necessary to study how the gas network, traditionally supplied with fossil fuel gas, could be operated in a more complex scenario that includes multiple and distributed energy sources.
