Alexey Miller, Chairman of the Gazprom Management Committee, and Nguyen Phu Trong, General Secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam, met in Moscow, to address a wide array of bilateral cooperation issues.
Special attention was paid to prospective collaboration in gas-fired power generation, gas use as a vehicle fuel, LNG supply, personnel training and sci-tech cooperation projects.
Under that scope, it was decided to perform a feasibility study for a pilot project aimed at constructing a Vietnam-based small-scale plant for the production of LNG to be used as a vehicle fuel.
The project operator is the PVGAZPROM Natural Gas for Vehicles joint venture involving Gazprom EP International B.V., Gazprom Gazomotornoye Toplivo and PETROVIETNAM GAS. The signed document paves the way for the practical implementation of the project.
Small Scale LNG production for use in transport is gaining momentum around the World. Technological advances are making this option economically and logistically very convenient for fuelling sustainable long haul mobility, both for people and goods.
