Another meeting of working group for gas fuel market development

12 April 2019, Friday

The Ministry of Industry and Trade of Tatarstan hosted the fourth meeting of the working group for organising and coordinating the development of the natural gas fuel market in Tatarstan and the conversion of vehicles and agricultural machinery to run on liquefied natural gas (LNG). The meeting was chaired by Deputy Minister Aleksey Savelchev and attended by representatives of trucking companies, manufacturers of gas-powered trucks and automotive vehicles, other ministries and agencies.

 

At the meeting, the participants jointly work out the issues of ensuring a phased switchover to the use of LNG by trucks and agricultural machinery, harmonised development of LNG production and sales infrastructure and the LNG fleet, and formulation of incentive mechanisms for the use of LNG as a motor fuel.

 

Interdepartmental work is currently underway to update the republic’s sub-programme “Developing the Market of Liquefied Natural Gas as a Motor Fuel in Tatarstan in 2018–2030” given new trends and tasks set by the leaders of the Republic of Tatarstan. After updating this sub-programme, it will be sent for approval to the Tatarstan Cabinet of Ministers.
