Earlier this year, more than 30 percent of the territory of China (the country's capital of Beijing included) for several weeks, an extremely thick smog was a victim. The level of air pollution in places has exceeded the safe level for the life of 40-fold. In the zone of ecological disaster, the death rate has risen sharply. To reduce the harmful emissions, was placed in China where the work of industrial enterprises. One solution for this disaster may be an acceleration of the signing of the contract for the supply of Russian gas to China. This was announced by the VOICE OF RUSSIA Sergei Prawossudow, director of the Institute for National Energy with Russia.

Prawossudow believes that China now safely put about 70 percent of its demand for energy resources by promoting their own coal. The PRC is the global leader in terms of the extent of coal combustion. Precisely because it had led to ecological disasters in China's largest cities. According to the World Health Organization and the World Bank are currently in China the most polluted cities in the world. While in all other countries, the cars are the main contaminants in urban air.

China has the highest per capita of the population, only a twentieth of the number of motor vehicles in the United States, and the major contaminants are here just the power plants that are fueled by coal. But the lasting economic growth has led to the rise of the Chinese middle class. In recent years, the automotive market is stormy in this country. At present in China, more cars are sold each year than in any other country in the world. That means that you will soon air in Chinese cities hardly have to breathe, says Sergei Prawossudow.

This problem may be due to the conversion of coal-fired power plants on the ecologically solved much cleaner natural gas and the cars on gaseous fuel. Assuming gasoline of quality Euro-4 for a standard measure, it turns out that the compressed natural gas in terms of emissions of nitrogen oxides almost three times, in terms of CH fourteen times on benzopyrene more than sixteen times, to carbon oxide twelve and a half times and on soot thrice cheaper (compared to a diesel vehicle is a hundred times cleaner). The Chinese are well aware of this: If you already use more than a half million vehicles gas as fuel.

China rapidly increases the purchases of liquefied natural gas. In 2012, the import of liquefied natural gas in this country 14.68 million tonnes against 12.21 million tonnes in the previous year has amounted to (growth rate of 20.3%). Last year, the purchase price for the goods delivered to China increased liquefied natural gas at 560 dollars per ton, compared to 2011 was only $ 472 per tonne. Thus China pays for gas over the European customers of "Gazprom". Under these conditions, the negotiations for the supply of larger Gasmenagen in China were selected.

Recently declared Viktor Zubkow, chairman of the Council's Director of "Gazprom" that the gas giant reckon tune the price for the supply of Russian gas to China in June this year and sign up to the end of 2013 to the final agreement. It should be recalled that "Gazprom" and the Chinese company CNPC have recently signed a Memorandum on the pipeline deliveries of Russian gas through the Eastern Corridor from 2018. The agreement with CNPC is a new link in the chain of investments from "Gazprom" and the positions of the Russian company in the Asian gas markets improve significantly, currently only 50 percent of the shares in the project "Sakhalin-2" with an annual volume of 9.6 million tons will be presented.

Looking at the development of Russian-Chinese cooperation in the hydrocarbon sector of the positions of the Russian companies, the new agreement for the supply of hydrocarbons put into China, which were during the visit of the President of the Republic of China, Xi Jinping, signed in Moscow a positive factor for both "Gazprom" and for the state-owned oil giant "Rosneft" represents recently declared experts from Fitch that the diversification of the Russian oil and gas exports to the Asia-Pacific region, the positions of Russia as a key supplier of energy resources in the region more consolidate and thereby improve the business profile of the companies mentioned will
