Russia & Korea’s NGV Bus Program

Case 1:  European Business Summit 2010 in Brussels, Belgium  at Energy for Europe on 1st July 2010

 NGVs are a special case. We have a Green Corridor Plan. The potential is great but there is the chicken and egg problem. Car companies won´t make the cars until there are fuel stations, and the fuel stations won’t be built until there are cars to run on gas.

 The support of government is essential. For example, in Seoul, South Korea, all the buses have been switched to run on natural gas. The proper means need to be taken by the government.

A high powered group of Presidents and CEOs of some of the world’s largest energy companies participated in a panel,

Fuelling Growth at the European Business Summit in Brussels on  Natural gas was high on the agenda for each of the industry leaders, who spoke enthusiastically about natural gas and gas markets.  Natural gas was recognized as a low CO2 option to coal-generated electricity and as a resource that will last for another 200-to-250 years.  Alexander Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of Gazprom’s Management Committee said that natural gas will play an important role, in particular, for the transportation sector.

Case 2: 

A matter of principle
Unfortunately, the Krasnodar Territory and the Olympics organizing committee decided for the first time since 1996 to hold the Olympics without environmentally friendly fuel. Others, not so rich gas as Russia, the country tried to take environmental regulations for sports competition, encourage the use of vehicles to natural gas.Particularly revealing in this respect the example of South Korea. But in Russia, methane will not be associated with the Olympics. Apparently, the decision-makers believe that the air Sochi is already clean and automobile exhaust can not degrade it. However, NGV buses purchased for the Universiade in Kazan. Tatarstan authorities are much more serious in this direction.

Case 3: 

– Thus, the U.S. fleet owners with a number of machines from the ten commitments
us under the park upgrade purchase at least 10% of new cars
clean fuel. And in South Korea during the World Cup
Cup in 2002, the area adjacent to the venues compete-
vany, were allowed to enter only the car with gas.

November 29, 2010, an enlarged meeting of the Committee of the RF CCI on Energy Strategy and Energy Development “Problems and prospects of development of gas-cylinder vehicles on the territory of the Russian Federation.”

Despite the obvious benefits, the amount of motor fuel in Russia at present is quite low. One of the reasons forcing vehicle owners to stop using gas fuel – is the high price of gas equipment installation and the lack of tax incentives in relation to the gas-cylinder vehicles. In addition to that, in some regions of the Russian Federation significant causes for failure of the transition to natural gas are and administrative barriers.

Main purpose of the meeting – the development of specific proposals to promote the development of the park gas-cylinder vehicles in Russia.

During the meeting, presentations were made of OAO “Gazprom”, JSC “SIBUR Gazservis”, OJSC “KAMAZ”, JSC “Interaviagaz”, OOO «Hyundai ComTrans Rus” projects “City Car” CJSC “YAROVIT Motors” and “Gas-cylinder car” Gazelle “”, and the National Natural Gas Vehicle Association of the Republic of South Korea.
