DOI: 10.33917/mic-1.108.2023.67-73

Given the significant reserves and resources of natural gas, the potential for the development of the Russian economy at the present stage should be based mainly on the gas component of the fuel and energy balance. The article analyzes the state of reproduction of gas reserves in Russia and its rational use. The main trends in the development of the NGV market are considered, and the economic and environmental prospects for the use of compressed and liquefied natural gas as a NGV fuel are substantiated.
