The International Gas Forum continues its work in St. Petersburg

Belarusian enterprises presented new developments for the gas industry of the Union State. Among the domestic novelties are the Belarus tractor and the world's first grain harvester Polessye powered by liquefied natural gas. This Belarusian-Russian project is a vivid example of import substitution. The forum also presents a 90-ton dump truck BelAZ, which is successfully working at the coal pits of Kuzbass. Next to it there is a Russian-made mobile fueling station — such an industrial symbiosis of the two countries. Another Belarusian development is a hybrid MAZ X, which combines a new generation tractor and a tourist bus. On the margins of the forum, specialists will discuss the use of Belarusian quarry and specialized machinery in the gas and mining industries of Russia. In addition, today the Belarusian government and Gazprom will sign a memorandum of cooperation.
