Greenhouse gas emissions by Russia

[5] Cutting greenhouse gas emissions, and therefore air pollution in Russia, would have health benefits greater than the cost.

[19] In 2017 Russia's energy sector, which under IPCC guidelines includes fuel for transport, emitted almost 80% of the country's greenhouse gases.

[21]CO2 emissions by sector, 2021[22] According to the Russian Science Foundation in 2019, the natural influx of greenhouse gases from terrestrial ecosystems in Russia constantly changes.

Measuring these influxes had shown that greenhouses gases into the atmosphere in short time intervals is contributing to the deceleration of warming in Russia.

[citation needed] The effect of terrestrial ecosystems contributing to the deceleration of global warming in the Russian regions grows in the first half of the 21st century and decreases by the end of the century upon reaching the maximum, depending on the scenario of anthropogenic emissions, under all studied scenarios of anthropogenic impacts resulting from the growth in natural emissions of CH4 and the decrease in CO2 absorption by the terrestrial ecosystems.

[28] Efforts to decarbonize steel and aluminium production were delayed by the Russo-Ukrainian war and international sanctions during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.

[30] Decarbonization in China, such as increasing use of solar power and electric vehicles, may eventually reduce Chinese demand for Russian oil and gas.
