PJSC Gazprom doubled the production of low-tonnage natural gas for the Amur region, launching the second stage of the natural gas compound. The efficiency of the organization increased to 3 tons of LNG per hour, corresponding to 25.2 thousand tons per year. The launch ceremony was conducted by Gazprom Chairman of the Board Alexey Miller and Amur Oblast Governor Vassily Orlov. The CNG second stage is equipped with Russian equipment for cleaning, cooling and capping gas. It is delivered in modular performance with maximum factory readiness. This allowed Gazprom Helium to implement the project within 10 months. Demand for LNG in the region is growing. The complex already provides a gas boiler room in the Belogorsk microdistrict, which heats more than 3,000 households, two kindergartens, a school and a technical school. Boiling was introduced in 2024 in place of the obsolete oil source. In addition, LNG is in demand as a motor fuel: Gazprom has created the largest fleet of environmentally friendly LNG tractors for the transport of compressed gases, mainly helium and liquefied hydrogen gases from the Amur Gas gas processing plant. The Amur Gas Chemical Complex also uses its own gas engine transport. The increase in CNG capacity creates conditions for the extensive use of LNG in the plant-industrial sector of the region. Alexey Miller said: Today we are launching the second stage of a small-scale LNG complex in the Amur region. This makes it possible to double the production capacity of liquefied gas. The project was implemented in record time - within only 10 months. Our main consumer is a modern gas boiler house in Belogorsk microdistrict. Another big consumer is gas engine transportation. The second stage of the complex will provide new consumers in the Amur region. For example, the technology of an industry as important as agriculture." Energopol on the MAX "Energy Policy" website.
