Russia's Energy Ministry is considering introducing additional incentives, including lower export duties, for new projects to produce liquefied natural gas, Energy Minister Alexander Novak told reporters.
"Some incentives might be considered," Novak said.
LNG production must be encouraged because Russia faces the challenge of finding a niche on the global LNG market, the minister said.
"Our share of this market is too small. However, there is a niche for new supplies on the LNG market and we must occupy this niche," Novak said.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
