An LNG corridor to China has appeared in Russia.
A new cryogenic fuel station was launched in Chita, closing the Russia-China transport corridor for LNG trucks, Novatek reported. Such tractors can now be used effectively in international transport, and expanding the gas station network will help build new supply chains and reduce fuel costs, the company noted.
The appearance of a gas station in Chita makes it possible to travel continuously from Ulan-Ude to Manchuria (more than 1,200 km) by LNG truck. In total, in Russia, according to the National LNG Association, there are 82 cryogenic gas stations. Moreover, there are more than 8 thousand of them in China.
