Russia's net carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions reached 1.58 billion metric tons of CO₂ equivalent in 2019. Under the basic scenario of a low-carbon strategy of the country, the indicator was expected to decrease to 1.19 billion metric tons of CO₂ equivalent in 2050. The intensive scenario forecast a more significant decline to over 260 billion metric tons of CO₂ equivalent in 2050. Net emissions refer to the volume of emissions after absorption by the ecosystem, such as forests and lands.
Net carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions in Russia in 2019 with a forecast for 2050
(in billion metric tons of CO₂ equivalent)
Characteristic
Net emissions in billion metric tons of CO₂ equivalent
* Forecast according to the project of Russia's climate strategy until 2050.
According to the document, the basic scenario does not include obligatory payments for emissions. The reduction of emissions is planned through realization of climate projects in forests and using a revised methodology of absorption capacity. Those measures would include planting forests, reducing fires, and watering drained swamps. Spending on realization of the basic scenario would be 1.5% of the GDP.
The intensive scenario includes obligatory payments for emissions in the most carbon-intensive industries, programs to support renewable energy generation, carbon capture, and carbon disposal. The scenario would only be possible given an increased investment activity of Russian companies, growth in foreign investment, and absence of international restrictions for realization of climate projects in Russia by domestic and foreign companies. Spending on realization of the intensive scenario would be 4% of the GDP.
