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.

The article is devoted to the research of key drivers for Russian internal gas market growth. The author highlights the growth of gasification of Russian regions as one of main factors of internal gas market growth, but its opportunities are limited at the moment. So a new key growth factor may the use of  NGV fuel in Russia. It can cause a positive impulse at the Russian internal gas market in the nearest future.
