Ecological and economic aspects of the use of natural gas in Russia as an energy carrier

DOI: 10.33917/mic-1.108.2023.67-73

Given the significant reserves and resources of natural gas, the potential for the development of the Russian economy at the present stage should be based mainly on the gas component of the fuel and energy balance. The article analyzes the state of reproduction of gas reserves in Russia and its rational use. The main trends in the development of the NGV market are considered, and the economic and environmental prospects for the use of compressed and liquefied natural gas as a NGV fuel are substantiated.

Analysis of scientific methods and practical approaches to assessing the economic efficiency of gas motor fuel

DOI: 10.33917/mic-3.104.2022.5-11

The work is devoted to the generalization of scientific methods and practical approaches for choosing an effective gas motorization policy. Domestic and foreign peculiarities of evaluating the economic efficiency of projects in the field of gas motor fuel are disclosed in detail. The author describes the assessment of the environmental and economic benefits of natural gas motor fuel based on the calculation of social costs, the cost-benefit analysis.

The conclusion is made about the insufficient development of the model of the functioning of the gas engine market, cooperation and competitive behavior of participants, methods for assessing its economic efficiency and commercial potential at the national level and the level of economic entities.
