Reduced greenhouse gas emissions The ÅF team consists of a manager and four experts who have been working on the project since 2010. ÅF is proud to participate in the Znamensk CCGT project, which will not only bring economic benefits to the Astrakhan region and to Russia, but also increase the security of the electricity supply while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. To meet the risk of power shortfalls in the future, the Astrakhan Regional Government is supporting the construction of a cogeneration combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plant fuelled by natural gas. Znamensk ASTRAKHAN ZNAMENSK Znamensk is a “closed town” located in the Astrakhan region of Russia. In the former Soviet Union and certain of its successor countries, a closed town was a settlement with travel and residency restrictions. In modern Russia, such places are officially known as “closed administrative-territorial formations”. Closed towns were established from the late 1940s onwards and fall under two categories: small communities with sensitive military, industrial or scientific facilities, and border towns that were closed for security purposes.
