Gazprom Pushing Natural Gas for Cars in Europe

Russian energy giant Gazprom wants to set up a network of service stations across Europe for cars fuelled by natural gas. Gazprom controls a quarter of the world’s gas reserves.

Gazprom plans to increase its presence in Europe’s gas retail business, the company’s chief executive announced on Friday, June 27. Currently, few cars in Europe run on natural gas, in part because there are few places to tank up.

“We are proposing to our European partners the creation of a network of natural gas stations in Europe with the participation of Gazprom,” Gazprom chief executive Alexei Miller told a shareholders’ meeting in Moscow on Friday, June 27.
