The Energy in Russia is an area of the national economy, science, and technology of the Russian Federation, encompassing energy resources, production, transmission, transformation, accumulation, distribution, and consumption of various types of energy.[1]
Energy consumption across Russia in 2020 was 7,863 TWh.[2] Russia is a leading global exporter of oil and natural gas[3] and is the fourth highest greenhouse emitter in the world. As of September 2019, Russia adopted the Paris Agreement.[4] In 2020, CO2 emissions per capita were 11.2 tCO2.[5]
Russia has no plans to become carbon neutral before 2100 and intends to exploit fossil fuels in the Arctic for the Asian market.[6]
