Abstract
The study examines how the lack of investment in the natural resource sector can be overcome through the application of project finance structures, which have not yet been used in Russia. The main characteristics of project finance are reviewed, its opportunities compared to traditional corporate finance are emphasized, the most common obstacles hindering the implementation of project finance schemes are considered, and the necessary steps to improve the situation are outlined.
