What does this research mean for the field?

Institutional support measures, such as tax concessions and investment protection agreements, significantly expand the economically feasible distance for connecting gas-based industrial plants to trunk infrastructure, creating an institutional 'space compression' effect. Novelty: ClaimNovelty.INCREMENTAL. Consensus alignment: ConsensusAlignment.NEUTRAL.

What question did this study set out to answer?

Quantify institutional 'space compression' by evaluating how public policy support regimes alter the maximum economically feasible gas pipeline connection length for industrial projects.

Overview

Financial-spatial simulation study demonstrates tax incentives expand feasible pipeline distances for gas manufacturing, highlighting the value of spatially selective regional policies.

Key Points

Quantify institutional 'space compression' by evaluating how public policy support regimes alter the maximum economically feasible gas pipeline connection length for industrial projects.
Integrated scenario-based GIS mapping with a financial-spatial model evaluating a reference 500,000-tonne-per-year methanol plant.
Held technological and market variables constant while altering individual pipeline connection lengths and regional institutional support mechanisms.
Evaluated project feasibility using net present value (NPV), internal rate of return (IRR), and the threshold distance (L*) where NPV equals zero across sites including Ulan-Ude, Gusinoozersk, and Kyakhta/Naushki.
The baseline economically feasible pipeline connection threshold (L*) was approximately 31.0 km.
A zero regional profit-tax rate under a special investment contract increased the connection threshold to 111.1 km, and adding property-tax concessions raised it to 131.6 km.
An investment-protection agreement reimbursing 30% of eligible infrastructure costs increased the feasible connection threshold to 37.6 km.
