8. Prerequisites for successful development
of the motor fuel market
Government subsidies to regions transferring bus fleet to natural gas.
Availability of a wide range of cars and buses with gas engines.
Elaboration of programs of federal regions of Russia on transfer of vehicles
to natural gas (Moscow, Stavropol Krai, Sverdlovsk Oblast, Tambov
Oblast, Kaluga Oblast, Saratov Oblast, Republic of Tatarstan).
Increase in the number of regions that are witnessing growth in the use of
gas motor fuels.
Availability of equipment that allows to convert LNG to CNG.

12. Gazprom sells Russian natural gas in Europe:
CNG + LNG as a gas motor fuel
Gazprom 200+ CNG stations in Russia
Expansion of CNG refueling infrastructure is also being carried
Russia
out in remote regions of Russia
Development of production and retail infrastructure to promote
the sales of LNG as a motor fuel
Gazprom Group intends to expand its presence in the CNG
market, building additional gas stations in Germany by the end
of 2014, and also in Czech Republic by the end of 2013 (from
Europe
4 to 15) and so on
Gazprom Group is planning to develop the LNG market in
Europe's transport sector, and also enter the bunkering market
in the Baltic and in the North Sea region

14. Gazprom:
strategy to enter gas motor fuel market in Europe
In January 2012, the Board of Directors of Gazprom took a
strategic decision to develop export shipment of small-
capacity LNG and to participate in CNG projects abroad to
increase Gazprom's share in the global gas market.
