1. Uses: Natural gas used in corporate cafeterias is primarily used in the kitchen for tasks such as cooking, heating and baking. These uses are commercial in nature and are different from household uses.
2. Usage: Corporate cafeterias typically require a large supply of natural gas to meet peak cooking demand. In contrast, the amount of natural gas used for home use is relatively small.
3. Pipeline connection: Corporate cafeterias often require a dedicated pipeline connection to a natural gas supplier to ensure a stable and continuous supply of natural gas. This type of pipeline connection and supply is different from the standalone natural gas pipeline connection for household gas use.
For these reasons, natural gas used in business cafeterias is categorized as commercial gas. Commercial gas use usually requires a commercial gas contract with a natural gas supplier and is billed at the commercial gas rate.
