据世界能源9月5日消息称，俄罗斯最大的独立天然气生产商诺瓦泰克公司与俄罗斯远东楚科塔自治区的政府签署了合作协议。
根据协议，诺瓦泰克将考虑供应液化天然气用于发电，并作为运输和采矿作业的燃料。
诺瓦泰克管理委员会主席Leonid Mikhelson表示：“俄罗斯联邦完全支持发展北海航线，作为每年连接亚太和欧洲市场的航行路线。当我们在堪察加半岛的液化天然气转运设施和北极液化天然气2号项目全面投产后，冰级液化天然气油轮将全年几乎每天在楚科奇自治区的北极海岸航行。”
他补充说：“利用诺瓦泰克未来液化天然气项目的潜力，向遥远的北方地区供应清洁燃烧的天然气，将用更清洁的天然气取代传统能源(煤炭和柴油燃料)，这对保护北极地区的生态系统具有重要意义。”

Novatek Signs LNG Pact with Chukotka
Russia's largest independent natural gas producer Novatek has signed a cooperation agreement with the Government of the Chukotka autonomous area, situated in the Russian Far East.
As per the agreement, Novatek will consider supply LNG for use in power generation, and as fuel for transport and mining operations.
"The Russian Federation fully supports the development of the Northern Sea Route as a yearly navigational route connecting the Asian Pacific and European markets. When our LNG transshipment complex in the Kamchatka Territory and the Arctic LNG 2 project become fully operational, the ice-class LNG tankers will navigate along the Arctic coast of the Chukotka Autonomous Region year-round and almost daily," said Leonid Mikhelson, Novatek's Chairman of the Management Board.
"Using the potential of Novatek's future LNG projects to supply clean-burning natural gas to remote northern regions will replace traditional energy sources (coal and diesel fuel) with much cleaner natural gas, which contributes meaningfully to protect the ecosystem of the Arctic region," he added.
