Today, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of Tatarstan held a regular meeting of the working group on organising and coordinating the development of the gas fuel market in Tatarstan and on the conversion of vehicles and agricultural machinery to run on the liquefied natural gas (LNG). The meeting was chaired by Deputy Minister of Industry and Trade of Tatarstan Aleksey Savelchev and attended by representatives of republic’s ministries and agencies, Technopolis Himgrad, Gazprom Transgaz Kazan, KAMAZ, RariTEK, Tatarstan Grid Company, and others.

The participants to the meeting discussed organisational issues of the project “Construction of a Natural Gas Liquefaction Facility and a Network of Cryogenic Filling Stations in Tatarstan”, such as the selection of a construction site, as well as providing it with electricity, gas, and water.

The construction of a natural gas liquefaction facility would ensure reliable supplies of LNG for use as motor fuel in road transport.

An agreement regulating the implementation of this project in more detail is expected to be signed within the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum 2019, which takes place on June 6 to June 8 this year in St. Petersburg.
