The financial crisis is receding and construction of strategically and economically important facilities is being actively carried out throughout Russia.
Tomtor field
A number of facilities will be built as part of the development of the Tomtor field located in the north-west of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). Among them is a plant for the processing of rare earth metals in the city of Krasnokamensk. In total, 1.5 billion rubles were allocated from the budget for the creation of mining and processing enterprises.
Bridge over the Lena
The construction, which has been planned for more than a dozen years, has finally been approved by President Putin. The bridge across the Lena River will increase the transport accessibility of the population of Yakutia by 70%. The 3 km long bridge and 11 km approaches to it will be built by 2025. The construction will cost the state 83 billion rubles. Note that today the winter communication for residents of Yakutia, living on the left bank of the Lena, is possible only by air (the river freezes for a long time).
Yenisei Siberia
The large-scale project, partially launched in Tuva, will develop at an intensive pace in the coming years. The complex investment project "Yenisei Siberia" involves the construction of 32 production facilities in Tuva, Krasnoyarsk Territory, Khakassia. For the inhabitants of the Republic of Tuva, the time for change has already come. The long-awaited plant for processing gold-bearing ores using the latest technologies was launched in the commissioning mode. For an area with high unemployment, this is a real joy.
Cosmodrome Vostochny
The Vostochny cosmodrome is the largest construction project in the Far East, worth more than 300 billion rubles. The project was launched several years ago, several large infrared objects have already been built (railway, substations, etc.). Ahead is the construction of a launch pad for the Ankara high-capacity rocket.
Power of Siberia gas pipeline
The construction of a 5,000 km gas pipeline is in full swing. "Power of Siberia". By 2022, most of the compressor stations (7 out of 10) will be built. The Power of Siberia gas trunkline will transport gas from gas production centers (Irkutsk and Yakutsk) to Russian consumers in the Far East and to China.
Gas chemical complex in Ust-Luga
In November 2020, an agreement was signed between Baltic Chemical Complex LLC and the state development corporation VEB.RF to issue a loan in the amount of RUB 111 billion. to finance the initial stage of the project for the construction of a gas chemical complex near the seaport of Ust-Luga.
The facility will become the most powerful gas processing facility in Russia and the largest LNG producer in North-Western Europe. The complex's capacity will be 45 billion cubic meters. m of processed gas per year, production - 2.2 million tons of LPG (liquefied petroleum gases), 13.3 million tons of LNG (liquefied natural gas), 3.6 million tons of ethane and 19 billion cubic meters. m of dry gas. At the same time, the natural gas remaining after processing (about 19 billion cubic meters) will be supplied to the gas transmission system of Gazprom.
According to Alexey Miller, Chairman of the Management Board and Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors of PJSC Gazprom, more than RUB 700 billion must be invested to implement this project.
Electrometallurgical complex in Vyksa
The project for the construction of a future plant in the Nizhny Novgorod region (Vyksa) is being implemented by the Ecolant project company, affiliated with the United Metallurgical Company (OMK JSC). In the fall of 2020, a cooperation agreement was signed with the Italian company Danieli for the supply of equipment for future production with a total value of € 400 million. This project is a pilot for the Russian metallurgy. It provides solutions that reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 70% compared to converter steelmaking.
The new complex will produce a wide range of steel products for wheel rolling and pipe production. The steel produced will have three main casting formats: round billets, wheel billets, and thick slabs. The products will be shipped to the enterprises of the United Metallurgical Company and other consumers. The new plant will provide 2,000 additional jobs.
