A METHOD OF CONVEYING A COMBUSTIBLE GAS THROUGH A PIPELINE SECTION FOR ARRIVAL WITH A PREDETERMINED OUTPUT PRESSURE AT THE EXIT END OF SAID SECTION, COMPRISING THE STEPS OF COMPRESSING SAID GAS UNDER AN ELEVATED PRESSURE SUBSTANTIALLY GREATER THAN THE INPUT PRESSURE REQUIRED AT THE ENDTRANCE END OF SAID SECTION FOR OBTAINING SAID OUTPUT PRESSURE, INTRODUCING THE GAS AT SAID ELEVATED PRESSURE INTO SAID SECTION AT SAID ENTRANCE END, RECOVERING SAID GAS AT SAID EXIT END WITH A RESULTANT PRESSURE SUBSTANTIALLY EXCEEDING SAID OUTPUT PRESSURE, HEATING AT LEAST A PART OF SAID GAS AT SAID EXIT END TO AN ELEVATED TEMPERATURE BY BURNING A PORTION OF SAID GAS UNDER PRESSURE IN THE PRESENCE OF AIR UNDER PRESSURE AND COMMUNICATING THE RESULTING COMBUSTION HEAT TO THE REMAINDER OF SAID GAS, EXPANDING THE GAS SO HEATED FOR ESTABLISHING SAID OUTPUT PRESSURE IN THE RECOVERED FLUID WITH RESULTANT COOLING TO A LEVEL SUBSTANTIALLY EQUAL TO AT MOST ITS ORIGINAL EXIT TEMPERATURE, AND CONVERTING THE WORK OF EXPANSION AVAILABLE AT SAID EXIT END INTO USEFUL ENERGY.
