Abstract

This is as a monitoring result of the actual scientific literature in the field of using liquefied natural gas as a motor fuel. The ecological and technological advantages of using liquefied natural gas in this area are considered. Based on this, conclusions are drawn about the competitiveness of liquefied natural gas relative to other types of motor fuel. Analyzed the current energy strategy of the Government of the Russian Federation in the field of promoting and popularization of liquefied natural gas as a motor fuel and the development of energy and filling infrastructure. Based on the identified shortcomings of the strategy, an alternative option is proposed that relies on local gas filling systems, mini-gas liquefaction plants, and mobile gas stations. An assessment of the technical and economic parameters of the project for the creation of such an infrastructure was carried out because of which a conclusion was made about its overall efficiency. Options for implementing the concept of alternative development of the energy and refuelling infrastructure of liquefied natural gas and its integration into the state energy policy are proposed.
