Belyaev Yuriy graduated from the Institute of Economics and Culture, Department of Economics, majoring in Management. He is married and has four children. Since 1994, he has participated in the creation of commercial structures from scratch, has been engaged in the organization of business management.
In 1999, he became a founder of the company for the production of automotive components. GC Autocomponent, within 12 years of its existence, has developed from a small factory for the production of mirrors for GAZ cars into the largest company in the industry, producing over 1,700 kinds of plastic products of different complexity for the needs of domestic and foreign manufacturers of automobiles (GAZ, VAZ, Renault, Volkswagen, Nissan, General Motors and others). The company is positioned not only as a large modern production, but also as an initiator of regional social programs.
In 2012, Yuriy Belyaev turned to the Agency for Strategic Initiatives and presented an innovative project “Safe Gas”. The essence of the project is to create a production of composite gas cylinders with no analogues yet in Russia. Composite gas cylinders are completely explosion-proof. “Safe Gas” project implementation will allow presenting on the domestic market an innovative product that meets international standards of quality and safety, and complies with the appropriate strategy for technical development of the country. Fields of application of composite cylinders are gas supply, home heating, construction, industry, tourism, etc. The project makes it possible to create an alternative system of gas supply. This, in turn, will attract remote small and medium-sized businesses to gas supply, will help create a network of mobile gas-filling complexes, as well as increase gas consumption in the country. The project implementation will increase the competitiveness of Russian products.
The “Safe Gas” project received regional support, passed ASI expert assessment and was approved at an open meeting of the Expert Board of the Agency for Strategic Initiatives under the leadership of the Chairman of the Government Vladimir Putin.
REVIEWS ABOUT PROJECT
Kazachkova Nataliya
Minister of Investment Policy of the Nizhni Novgorod Region
This project is unique for Russia. The peculiarity of innovative gas storage and transport systems is in their lightness, transparency, anti-corrosion, and, which is most important, absolute explosion safety. Creation of production on the basis of advanced technology systems, storage and transportation of gas for different categories of consumers with a wide field of application will enable the region to get more jobs that require training of highly skilled professionals to master the modern technological processes in the field of composite materials. Furthermore, implementation of this project is particularly relevant for areas where it is inappropriate to construct gas pipes. There are also places where the construction is possible, but there may be problems with gasification. Creating a stand-alone gas supply will allow to develop these areas. The project has social and scientific and technological importance for the region. In addition it allows individuals to enter the market of energy supply. Thus, the project will have economic benefits for the country as a whole.

New polymer composite gas cylinder, which will be produced by Rugazko in Nizhny Novgorod, is an innovative product, which meets all international standards of quality and safety, with a wide field of application: gas supply, home heating, construction, industry, tourism and others. The cylinders are made of glass fibers coated with epoxy resin, which provides significant lightness of product compared to a metal analog. In the development of polymeric gas cylinder safety is a fundamental principle. Polymeric gas cylinder is completely explosion-proof. In addition, it is an environmentally safe product. In-depth studies have shown that the polymer composite cylinders have minimal adverse effects on the environment compared to conventional metal gas cylinders.

Support for this project is an important step for the Russian gas industry. Tighter state standards will allow solving the problems of national security. The appearance of a clause in the state standards that the manufacturer is obliged to ensure the safety and explosion safety of gas cylinders can significantly reduce the number of accidents that occur due to the violation of safety rules during operation of gas equipment.
