On April 10, at the KAZAN EXPO International Exhibition Centre, speaking at a meeting of the Cabinet of Minsters of the republic, Deputy Minister of Energy of Russia Anton Inyutsyn raised the issue of developing a network of gas filling stations.

The meeting focused on the implementation of the state programme "Energy Saving and Energy Efficiency of the Republic of Tatarstan in 2018 and tasks for 2019".

Tatarstan President Rustam Minnikhanov took part in the meeting held as part of Tatarstan International Forum on Energy Efficiency “TEF – 2019”.

Inyutsyn noted that the forum is expanding its borders. According to him, the forum always focuses on energy saving and energy efficiency issues. “However, we all understand quite well that when we achieve results, we also touch on environmental issues. Therefore, I propose to call the forum “Energy Efficiency and Ecology,” the Deputy Minister of Energy of Russia said. “In my speech that I want to focus on environmental issues related to energy efficiency and energy saving and to the development of gas engine fuel. "

According to Inyutsyn, the use of gas engine fuel really has a good environmental and economic effect.

“The Government has decided to subsidize the construction of gas filling stations to support investors. In January, we offered the regions to submit their applications for co-financing of projects for the construction of gas stations. And now we have applications for the current year for more than 180 facilities with a total volume of declared investments of more than 20 billion roubles, ”the Deputy Minister of Energy of Russia noted.

According to him, it is planned to allocate 3.5 billion roubles to subsidize the construction of gas filling complexes.
