T1 THE GAS INSTITUTE − HISTORY AND MODERN SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITIES JF International Journal of Energy for a Clean Environment JO IJECE YR 2013 FD 2014-12-10 VO 14 IS 2-3 OP vii-xi K1 Gas Institute K1 metallurgy K1 industrial heating K1 gas processing K1 gas transport K1 ecology AB The Gas Institute has a more than 60-year history. It was established because of the necessity to solve various scientific and practical problems related to the supply and use of natural gas in industry and municipal sectors. For many years the scientists of the Institute have been carrying out important fundamental and applied researches aimed at the development of advanced energy-saving technologies and equipment for solving the above-mentioned problems. Recently, the shortage of fuel and energy resources has set the priority of their more efficient usage, as well as application of alternative and nontraditional energy sources, along with utilization of wastes.. The finding of solutions for these problems, along with the new research directions, are the basis for contemporary research and development activities in the Institute nowadays.
