With global energy demands on the ascendency, natural gas is being considered as the twenty‐first century fuel essential in bridging the gap between traditional fossil‐fuel‐based energy economy and a completely decarbonized energy economy. This is due to its smaller carbon footprint in terms of CO2 emission equivalent inventories during production, lower SOx, NOx, and particulate emissions, and lower pollution metrics. The optimization of natural gas networks, starting from pipelines connecting sources of natural gas at the natural gas wells, through to preprocessing and processing, to storage and distribution of processed natural gas, at sometimes very remote demand location, is of paramount importance.

In this chapter, we aim at reviewing the modeling and optimization efforts in natural gas network systems, with attention to blending natural gas from various sources under steady‐state conditions. The mixing of natural gas from diverse sources, with different quality ...
