Implementation of the Climate Agreement in the Russian Oil and Gas Sector

The strategic goal of the Russian environmental policy is to meet the challenges of ensuring environmentally-oriented growth of the economy, the preservation of natural resources, and the strengthening of the rule of law in the field of environmental protection. Important areas of environmental safety include the implementation of the Climate Doctrine of the Russian Federation—a comprehensive plan approved by 2020, for industry, including the oil and gas sector. The oil and gas sector is not the main supplier of greenhouse gasses, but it plays an important role in the extraction and use of carbon fuels. The study of statistical data on the results of monitoring greenhouse gas emissions by industrial facilities and the identification of the most promising technological solutions for reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the oil and gas industry was the aim of our study.
