Abstract
It is shown that the international practice of accounting for natural gas in terms of its total energy content makes it possible to obtain comparable prices for the energy produced by various fuels. It is proposed that the calculations should be based on the higher heat of combustion, not the lower one. The new specifications in GOST R 8.577-2000 are presented.
