Abstract
A method is described of generating power from a pressure control station of a natural gas distribution system. A first step involves channeling natural gas entering the pressure control station into a turbine (52) which is powered by expansion of the natural gas as the pressure of the natural gas is reduced. A second step involves capturing the output of the turbine (52) for useful purposes.
