Increasing the number of vehicles using natural gas motor fuel, creating a modern filling and service infrastructure, improving the environmental situation – these and other tasks formed the basis of the Concept for the Development of the Natural Gas Motor Fuel Market until 2035. It was approved by order of Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.
The concept includes eight segments of vehicles and equipment, the conversion of which to gas motor fuel will have a noticeable economic and environmental effect, and will also lead to a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. These are automobile, sea and inland water transport, rail transport, agricultural machinery and equipment, municipal and road construction equipment, specialized equipment designed to perform work in quarries and mine workings.
The concept includes two scenarios for the development of the domestic gas motor fuel market until 2035. The base scenario is formed taking into account external challenges and instability in global energy markets. The target scenario provides for more favorable conditions in which the gas motor fuel market will develop at an accelerated pace.
Thus, the baseline scenario assumes the production of 347.3 thousand and the conversion of 369.5 thousand vehicles using natural gas motor fuel. In addition, it implies the construction of 80 civil vessels, as well as the production of 113 mainline and shunting locomotives, the production of 4 thousand units of agricultural and 1.6 thousand units of quarry machinery and equipment, 2.5 thousand units of municipal and road construction equipment running on this type of fuel. The implementation of these plans will increase the volume of consumption of natural gas motor fuel in Russia from 2.52 billion cubic meters in 2024 to 9.6 billion cubic meters in 2035.

The number of gas motor fuel filling infrastructure facilities should increase from 1,170 to 2,213 units, respectively, when implementing the baseline scenario.
Comment
The target scenario envisages the production of 528 thousand vehicles running on natural gas motor fuel and the conversion of 525 thousand vehicles to use it. It also assumes the construction of 107 civil vessels, the release of 149 mainline and shunting locomotives, 2.9 thousand units of quarry equipment, 18.7 thousand units of agricultural machinery and equipment, 3.8 thousand units of municipal and road construction equipment. This will increase the consumption of natural gas motor fuel to 13.9 billion cubic meters in 2035.
The number of gas motor fuel filling infrastructure facilities will increase to 2,715 units.
“The President emphasized that the use of gas motor fuel is a priority for our country,” Mikhail Mishustin recalled atmeeting with deputy prime ministers on September 8.
According to him, all measures envisaged by the concept will expand domestic demand for natural gas and accelerate the creation of a new segment of the economy.
