pdf  Analysis of competitive advantages of synthetic liquid fuels production: world experience and Russian practice
Increasing quality requirements for motor fuels results in the need for additional capital investment by companies that own the refineries. Under these circumstances, Russia as the main supplier of oil products on the European market need to pay attention to the possibility of production of synthetic liquid fuels. The opportunities and prospects of development of synthetic liquid fuels production in Russia are analyzed. SWOT-analysis of synthetic liquid fuel production in Russia is carried out. The forecast of prices on diesel fuel for the EU market is performed on the basis of the developed algorithm.

Keywords: fuel and energy complex, synthetic liquid fuels, oil, gas, monetization of natural gas, diesel fuel, the EU market.
