Source text - French Injection de biogaz...
Après d’autres pays européens, la France
est sur la voie pour injecter le biométhane dans son réseau de gaz naturel !
Lille Métropole s’apprête à obtenir l’autorisation administrative, ce qui permettra une plus grande souplesse à sa production de biogaz et d’optimiser son utilisation.
L’injection du biométhane carburant dans le réseau de distribution de gaz naturel permet de lever l’un des freins actuels au développement du biogaz. En effet, la difficulté est aujourd’hui de faire coïncider une production de biogaz continue avec une consommation qui peut être fluctuante (lorsqu’il s’agit par exemple d’une utilisation dans les réservoirs de bus). En injectant le biométhane dans le réseau de gaz naturel, cette difficulté disparaît. Le réseau fonctionnera alors comme un stockage intermédiaire local et acheminera le biométhane pour d’autres usages locaux.
Les Pays-Bas, l’Allemagne, la Suisse, l’Autriche et la Suède ont déjà favorisé le développement de la production de biogaz en autorisant son injection dans leur réseau de gaz naturel.
Dès 2003, une directive européenne (2003/55/CE du 26.06.03) autorise l’injection de gaz autre que naturel dans le réseau de gaz naturel.
En matière d’énergie renouvelable et de réduction d’émissions de gaz à effet de serre, certains états européens privilégient les filières du gaz naturel et du biogaz. En Allemagne, en décembre 2006, les premières installations de biogaz alimentaient le réseau national de gaz naturel, ce qui ouvre les perspectives de la filière. Jusqu’en 2030, l’Allemagne prévoit un potentiel de biogaz disponible pour alimenter le réseau de 100 milliards de KWh par an (1).
Parmi les partenaires du projet Biogasmax, Berne (Suisse), Stockholm et Göteborg (Suède), ont également choisi l’injection du biogaz dans leur réseau de gaz naturel.
À Göteborg, dès 1999, Götebord Energi injectait un biogaz non épuré dans le réseau urbain qui accueillait déjà du gaz dit gaz de ville. En 2006, elle décide d’injecter du biogaz épuré dans le réseau de gaz naturel local. Berne a également interconnecté son système d’épuration de biogaz au réseau du gaz naturel depuis 2006. L’amélioration des technologies employées permet aujourd’hui de garantir la qualité et la fiabilité du système.
En France, la législation s’aligne sur les directives européennes relatives à la libéralisation de l’énergie. Les transporteurs et distributeurs ont établi et publié les prescriptions techniques garantissant la qualité de l’usage et l’intégrité des infrastructures de transport et de distribution du gaz.
Translation - English Injection of biogas ...
Following in the footsteps of other European countries, France is planning to inject biomethane into its natural gas network!
The city of Lille is preparing to obtain official authorisation, which will allow optimal use of biogas and greater flexibility in its production.
The injection of biomethane fuel in the natural gas distribution network will mean the removal of one of the current obstacles to the development of biogas. In fact, the difficulty today is to reconcile continuous production of biogas with potentially fluctuating consumption (for example when bus fuel tanks are used). By injecting biomethane into the natural gas network, this difficulty is removed. The network will then function as local temporary storage and will direct the biomethane towards other local uses.
The Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Austria and Sweden have already supported the development of biogas production by authorising its injection into their natural gas networks.
Since 2003, a European directive (2003/55/CE of 26.06.03) has authorised the injection of other gases into the natural gas network.
In the area of renewable energy and reduction of greenhouse gases, some European countries give special status to natural gas and biogas. In Germany, in December 2006, the first biogas installations fed into the national gas network, which opened up the prospects of the field. Until 2030, Germany predicts enough potential available biogas to supply the network with 100 billion KWh per year (1).
Amongst the Biogasmax project partners, Berne (Switzerland) and Stockholm and Gothenburg (Sweden) have also decided on the injection of biogas into their natural gas network.
In Gothenburg, since 1999, Götebord Energi has been injecting a non-purified biogas into the urban network, which already took gas known as town gas. In 2006 it decided to inject purified biogas into the local natural gas network. Since 2006 Berne has also connected its system of purifying biogas to the natural gas network. Improvement in the technologies used means that today the quality and reliability of the system can be guaranteed. In France, legislation is in line with the European directives relating to liberalisation of energy. Transporters and distributors have drawn up and published technical specifications guaranteeing quality of use and integrity of transport infrastructures and gas distribution.

Source text - German Betrifft: Betriebsanleitung, wünsche mir speziell nur für das betreffende Fahrzeugmodel. Zuviel allgemeines was irritiert, z.B., ohne fachliche Hilfe ist es nicht möglich Datum und Uhrzeit einzugeben. Ist aus meiner Anleitung nicht zu entnehmen. Weiterhin, es betrifft die Teppichinnerverkleidung, hauptsächlich Kofferraum. Es handelt sich immer noch um den schwarzen Teppich, der jeden Fussel festhält.
Das Outfit und die Farbe des ganzen Models. Innenausstattung, schalt und Lenkfreudigkeit des Fahrzeuges. Bequem ein und aussteigen. Gesamtmeinung: Es kann keine Steigerung dieses Models mehr geben. Bin sehr zufrieden.
Translation - English Re: operating instructions, I would only want particularly for the relevant vehicle model. Too much general stuff, which is irritating, e.g. without specialist help it is not possible to input date and time. This can't be gleaned from my instructions. Apart from that, regarding the carpet interior lining, it's about the black carpet that keeps hold of every small piece of fluff.
Fixtures and fittings and the colour of the whole model. Interior features, ease of vehicle's steering and gear change. Comfortable getting in and out. Overall opinion: this model can't get any better. Am very satisfied.

Bio
I have been translating from French and German to English for fifteen years. With a background in export marketing in the chemical industry, I have an understanding of import/export documentation and procedures. I have also worked in education and corporate language training. After four years of German training at BMW, and the same in French at Citroen, I have knowledge of a wide variety of car parts, fixtures and fittings, and I have specialised in translating car manufacturers' brochures and customer feedback verbatim. I have also translated in the fields of Biowaste and corporate artwork.
I currently combine translation with language training. This enables me to meet a wide range of professionals in many different areas of business and to have contact with the language they use.
