As part of its energy saving programs, Gazprom saved 29.8 million tons of fuel and energy resources including 25 billion cubic meters of natural gas between 2002 and 2010.

Our large-scale gas production and transmission projects are implemented in the regions with a highly fragile ecosystem requiring a very careful approach. We are fully aware of our responsibility for the environmental impact with regard to the present and future generations.

In its business operations Gazprom pursues an environmental policy focused on resource saving, maximum mitigation of the environmental impact and conservation of the climate.

All information on Gazprom’s environmental activities is available in special environmental reports and environmental services’ bulletins.

As part of its environmental activities Gazprom focuses, inter alia, on energy saving, namely, on efficient utilization of natural gas, electric and thermal power, diesel and boiler-furnace fuel in all of its production activities.

Utilization of natural gas, an environmentally friendly product, as a vehicle fuel is one of Gazprom's environmental priorities. A relatively low cost and eco-friendliness make natural gas a fuel of choice.
