At its most recent meeting, Gazprom Board of Directors has sent proposals on joint development of the NGV infrastructure to 69 regions participating in the Gasification Program. To date, 37 of them are ready to confirm their commitment to convert vehicles or purchase NGVs by the time when the CNG stations are constructed. Currently, Gazprom is preparing a feasibility study for the construction of 37 fueling stations in 17 regions.
In addition, it is planned to consolidate Gazprom Group’s assets on the CNG production and sales in a specialized company in order to improve natural gas strategy implementation.
Further joint work of Gazprom and the Russian Federation will accelerate the NGV market development and will start building the nation-wide fueling infrastructure. Consistent implementation of this project will enable the regions to save significantly on transportation costs.
