THE ROLE OF INNOVATION IN REGIONAL GASIFICATION
Abstract
In accordance with the research objective, the article analyzes the results of gasification activities in the Russian Federation for the period from 2005 to 2024 and provides forecast estimates for the period up to 2030. The article highlights the progressive development of gasification processes at the national and regional levels. It also assesses the specific aspects of the gasification process. The article emphasizes the positive role of gasification in the socio-economic development of territories and improving the quality of life for the population. The introduction of a new model for the development of gas supply and gasification in Russian regions is being considered, which allows for the synchronization of gasification processes. The features of the process of additional gasification are being studied. The importance of state support for the implementation of gasification and pre-gasification processes is noted, as well as the important role of gasification for the country's territories from the perspective of their sustainable development. The innovations used in pre-gasification are described and aimed at raising public awareness and reducing the risks associated with applicants' misrepresentation of the program and the measures it consists of. Among the innovations under consideration is the Portal of the Unified Gasification Operator (UOG), a Voice assistant. Attention is paid to the areas of R&D conducted by Gazprom PJSC between 2019 and 2023. One of the innovative solutions for the processes of gasification and additional gasification is the introduction of a one-stop system, where innovative proposals from small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as individuals and legal entities, are reviewed in five stages and subsequently implemented. In this case, the scientific and technical expertise of innovative proposals is conducted based on a multi-criteria assessment.
Keywords: pre-gasification, innovations in gasification, regional development, level of gasification
