Table 6 Variables for the calculation of the indicative additional annual cost (AAC)

Variable	Meaning	Source	Remark
SUL	Support level for renewable gas production	Table 5; [98]	Varies from 30 to 130 EUR/MWh, reflecting the broad range of production cost estimates for different technologies
TGD	Total gas demand	[88]	Projected demand for 2030 (2803 TWh)
S	Share of total gas demand to be covered by renewable gas	–	Varied from 10 to 100%, illustrating the impact of different penetration targets
TN	Total number of end-users connected to the gas grid	[52]	Assumption that costs would be equally shared among all 118 million end-users connected to the gas grid (irrespective of type and size)
