Putin sets deadline for Russia to reach carbon neutrality
Russia sets a deadline for reaching carbon neutrality - by 2060. This was stated by the President of the country Vladimir Putin.
In practice, Russia will seek carbon neutrality for its economics... And we set a specific benchmark here - no later than 2060
- said the head of the Kremlin during a meeting of the international forum "Russian Energy Week".
At the same time, Russia is going to actively introduce modern nuclear Technology obtaining "green energy".
Russia possesses unique practical experience in the development and operation of nuclear technologies, including fast reactors, which in the future will make it possible to switch to a closed fuel cycle.
- Putin said.
He added that the country can make more use of small nuclear reactors, recalling the first floating nuclear power plant, which is currently operating in Chukotka. Thus, Russia will contribute to the decarbonization of the world energy sector.
The President is confident that in the coming years the role of oil and coal in the global energy sector will noticeably decrease, while the role of natural gas, on the contrary, will increase.
We are talking about the development of the production of liquefied gas. By 2035, we expect to increase the volume of its production to 140 million tons per year, occupying about 25% of the world market.
- Putin said.
