1st million cubic meters of natural gas transported to Nazarbayev University

3 November, 2017 18:14
The first million cubic meters of natural gas was transported to the largest consumer of fuel - Nazarbayev University, Mayor’s Office of the capital reported.

As reported, in February 2017 the first in the country complex of natural gas regasification "Turan" has been launched. The first gas consumer was Nazarbayev University.

"The innovative method of gas supply to Astana became available to a consumer thanks to LNG (liquefied natural gas) technology and the group of companies Global Gas Group which, in partnership with "Gazprom", implement an ambitious and promising project Astana LNG 2020 on gasification of the capital and northern regions of Kazakhstan", the message reads.

We remind that in the first half of October 2017 the design of the second regasification station of the "Telman" LNG has been started. The station will be located in the southern part of Astana, near the Nursultan Nazarbayev airport. The commissioning and launch of the new RCLNG is planned by the end of 2018.

In the future, the sports complexes "Barys Arena", "Alau" and the cycle track, as well as the airport and other large public and private consumers of heat and fuel located in the range of regasification complexes, will transfer to gas.

The work of the "Turan" and "Telman" complexes in full capacity will save budgetary funds to 5 billion tenge per year.
