Danish term or phrase: For de ledningsbundne energiformer el og naturgas
Hi. My problem here is "ledningsbundne", which my techdic says is "wire-bundled". Fine, but I can't figure out why "naturgas" is described as "wire-bundled" and therefore am wondering if the translation of "ledningsbundne" in this context is actually something else.

Explanation:
This is the meaning, but you may be able to come up with a better term "fixed-connection dependent forms of energy like electricity and natural gas"

Many thanks, Diarmuid, both for the explanation and the suggestion. I understood the concept, the problem was how to get gas off a wire, as it were. Thanks again.

wire or pipeline-dependent


Explanation:
A 'ledning' may also be a pipeline, e.g. for water or oil.

There is no single word that covers cables and pipelines in the same way in English, so you wil have to use two word here...
