Abstract
The article considers the existing problems in natural gas supply for industrial enterprises in the Russian market. The analysis is performed with regards to the use of natural gas in various sectors of economy. Gas consumption in electric power industry and metallurgy is growing at the highest rate. Gasification of the Russian regions leads to the dynamic development of gas distribution system. The use of natural gas in industry makes a significant contribution to the state budget and to the socio-economic situation in the regions.
Highlights
Today, increasing of energy efficiency is a global trend, caused by the constant increase in the cost of energy resources in global energy markets and driven by the fact that cost of energy resources has a significant share in the cost of final products of the real sector of the economy [1,2,3,4,5]
The information and empirical base of the study is based on statistics from the Federal State Statistics Service, regional and departmental statistics, and works from leading international authors describing the issues related to the development of gas supply systems and the use of natural gas by industrial enterprises
In 2018 in the Russian Federation the volume of gas supply for citizens and municipal needs increased by 4.3%, the supplies increased by 9.5% for electric power industry, by 13% for agrochemistry and by 18.5% for metallurgy [14]
Summary
Today, increasing of energy efficiency is a global trend, caused by the constant increase in the cost of energy resources in global energy markets and driven by the fact that cost of energy resources has a significant share in the cost of final products of the real sector of the economy [1,2,3,4,5].Gas industry takes significant share in the Russian economy and requires constant development and improvement in order to further increase its efficiency [2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13].The natural gas supply for industrial enterprises' needs is one of the key areas for the development of the gas industry and is carried out on the basis of systematic approach, involving the coordination of scientific, design, organizational, production and financial measures, with the timing of their implementation and sources of financing.In general, the Russian gas industry supplies fuel to citizens, industry, electricity and heating plants, and delivers gas for export. Today, increasing of energy efficiency is a global trend, caused by the constant increase in the cost of energy resources in global energy markets and driven by the fact that cost of energy resources has a significant share in the cost of final products of the real sector of the economy [1,2,3,4,5]. Gas industry takes significant share in the Russian economy and requires constant development and improvement in order to further increase its efficiency [2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13]. The aforementioned gas consumers have various interests, demand fluctuations, and motives for making decisions about switching to gas from alternative fuels, and its unique long-term prospects and level of solvency.
