The innovative hybrid independent power supply system (SAE-110) is part of the Company's activities to develop a new generation of energy-saving technologies and is designed to solve the problem of electrification of remote low-power energy facilities. It is a hybrid environmentally friendly unit that works by converting solar energy and a methanol chemical reaction into electrical energy. The use of the unit makes it possible to ensure reliable power supply to power facilities and at the same time reduce the cost of their operation.

As Vsevolod Cherepanov noted, thanks to the efforts of the development team, the unit has been “brought to industrial circulation” and is already successfully operated at many Gazprom facilities, including the Power of Siberia gas pipeline, having proven its reliability.

“It is symbolic that such a prestigious corporate award was awarded to Gazprom Nedra LLC in the year declared by President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin the year of science and technology, Vsevolod Cherepanov emphasised. The Company has powerful intellectual potential, and the high appreciation of its work by the management of PJSC Gazprom testifies to our worthy contribution to the scientific and technical development of the Russian gas industry”.
