Abstract

The energy sector contributes significantly to Russia’s economy, supports its competitiveness, and shapes the country’s internal political economy and foreign relations. Russia’s high energy and emission intensities reflect the country’s advantage as owner of vast fossil fuel endowments and high energy consumption needs as well as its legacy of Soviet-forced industrialisation and post-Soviet economic policies, which tend to support energy production and keep domestic energy prices at relatively low levels.

This calculation is based on BP (2021), which shows the world economy consumes daily 380,779 trillion calories of primary energy, which is equivalent to some 260 million of barrels of crude oil, and that it emits 94 million tonnes of CO2. The world GDP data used for the calculation is in international dollars at purchasing power parities.
