The Federation Council has developed a bill on the use of alternative gas sources for gasification

The draft law on the use of alternative types of gas for more efficient gasification of Russian regions has been sent to the Russian government for an opinion. The document was developed by Andrey Kutepov, head of the Federation Council committee on economic policy. This was reported TASS with a link to the document.

As alternative types of gas, it is proposed to use liquefied hydrocarbon gases, liquefied natural gas, compressed natural gas.

As follows from the explanatory note, the use of alternative types of gas will make it possible to use the federal and local budgets more efficiently when gasifying remote regions of Russia. Gasification of hard-to-reach regions of Russia, where gas distribution networks are not developed, using natural gas is not economically feasible, the document says.

In October, Russian President Vladimir Putin instructed to work out the issue of a gasification program after 2022. In November, the government adopted a resolution that established an indefinite term for gasification. According to the document, kindergartens, schools, clinics, hospitals and other social facilities must be connected to distribution networks free of charge.
