俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司Transgaz伏尔加格勒的CNG加气站

祖布科夫，俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司董事会主席在公司总部召开了一次会议，在农业部门，以及加气基础设施来解决发展天然气汽车（NGV）市场前景。预计联合活动，旨在扩大使用天然气作为汽车燃料具有成本效益的俄罗斯食品，以增加竞争力。

如今，燃料成本近20％的农业公司的支出。利用燃料的总体积气体中的份额不超过1％。同时，天然气是更具成本效益和生态友好。取代传统的燃料与天然气可能导致，三次减少燃料和润滑油公司的开支，降低废气排放量，因此，土壤退化的水平。

在会议上提出的农业公司的经验表明，卡车和公共汽车转换天然气减少了三分之一的经营成本。转换投资回收期只有6至9个月。

“我们准备提供必要的资金，开始设计新的CNG加气站本年度除了我们已经计划了。沿着这是可以做到粮食运输走廊，大型工厂附近准备购买燃气设备，正如我们所看到的，“祖布科夫说，俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司董事会和俄罗斯总统特别代表主席与天然气出口国论坛的合作。

俄罗斯天然气工业公司的目标是要更换NGV燃料在农业部门与使用传统燃料由2030年的20％。所有市场参与者的协调行动必要解锁NGV燃料的全部潜力。

有人指出，作为扩张性措施的必要性，进一步扩大CNG加气站网络，以及更广泛使用移动气加气站的帐户拖拉机和收割设备具体。提案表示，俄罗斯天然气汽车设备，以进一步发展和创造燃气农业设备的服务和维修中心。

NGV部门将在很大程度上NGV设备购买使用NGV燃料以及部分补贴援助的公司的优惠贷款和税收支持。

会议决定成立一个工作小组，根据俄罗斯农业部制定出在农业部门扩大使用天然气汽车燃料的问题导致。俄罗斯的农业提供补贴，农资公司购买天然气汽车设备部的倡议表示欢迎。

此外，在不久的将来可能会被工作，启动试点项目，由农业公司大规模引进燃气设备。

Viktor Zubkov, Chairman of the Gazprom Board of Directors held a meeting at the Company’s headquarters to address development prospects for the natural gas vehicle (NGV) market within the agricultural sector as well as the gas filling infrastructure. Joint activities aimed at expanding the use of natural gas as a cost-effective motor fuel is expected to increase the competitiveness of Russian foods.

Nowadays, fuel costs make up nearly 20 per cent of agricultural companies’ expenditures. The share of gas in the total volume of utilized fuel does not exceed 1 per cent. Meanwhile, natural gas is much more cost-effective and eco-friendly. Replacing conventional fuel with natural gas may result in reducing the companies’ expenditures for fuel and lubricants by three times, decreasing emissions and, consequently, the level of soil degradation.

The experience of agricultural companies presented at the meeting showed that conversion of trucks and buses to natural gas reduced their operating costs by one third. The payback period for investments in conversion was only 6 to 9 months.

“We are ready to provide the necessary financing to start designing new CNG filling stations in the current year in addition to those we have already planned out. This can be done along grain transportation corridors, near large factories which are ready to purchase gas-fired equipment, as we see,” said Viktor Zubkov, Chairman of the Gazprom Board of Directors and Russian Special Presidential Representative for Cooperation with Gas Exporting Countries Forum.

Gazprom’s goal is to replace 20 per cent of conventional fuel used in the agricultural sector with NGV fuel by 2030. The coordinated actions of all the market players are necessary to unlock the full potential of NGV fuel.

The necessity for further expansion of the CNG filling stations network as well as wider use of mobile gas filling stations with the account of tractor and harvesting equipment specifics was pointed out as an expansionary measure. Proposals were voiced to further develop Russian NGV equipment and create service and repair centers for gas-fired agricultural equipment.

The NGV sector will be largely supported by concessional lending and taxation for the companies using NGV fuel as well as partial subsidy assistance in purchasing NGV equipment.

The meeting resulted in the decision to set up a working group under the Russian Ministry of Agriculture to work out the issues of expanding the use of NGV fuel in the agricultural sector. The initiative of the Russian Ministry of Agriculture to provide subsidies to agricultural companies for purchasing NGV equipment was welcomed.

Besides, in the nearest future the possibility will be worked out to launch pilot projects for large-scale introduction of gas-fired equipment by agricultural companies.
