The article analyzes the relevance of decarbonization projects of companies
in the context of geopolitical uncertainty and economic crisis. Russia remains one of
the leaders in terms of carbon intensity of products and the amount of greenhouse
gases produced in the world. The object of the research is decarbonization strategies
of Russian companies in the industrial sector. The purpose of the study is to substantiate
the relevance of the processes of decarbonization of companies in conditions of
geopolitical uncertainty. The research objectives are as following: 1) analysis of the
Ministry of Economic Development of Russia decisions to reduce the carbon intensity
of the economy from the introduction of EU carbon regulation; 2) analysis of priority
markets for Russian exports; 3) relevance analysis of the decarbonization processes
of companies and certification of the carbon footprint. Many countries, including China, are increasing their requirements for the environmental friendliness of companies,
and the decarbonization processes themselves have a positive economic effect.
The closure of export markets has reduced the relevance of decarbonization projects
for Russian industry, which is now less affected by cross-border carbon regulation.
The energy crisis can seriously change Europe\'s climate priorities. Investments in
CCUS are accompanied by high risk, but they can allow you to gain a competitive
advantage; the main focus should be on the development of projects to improve energy
efficiency, reduce leaks and introduce renewable energy sources. Despite the
severance of economic ties with the European Union, the closure of export markets
and a decrease in the level of cross-border carbon regulation, as well as the resulting
geopolitical uncertainty, the climate agenda does not lose its relevance. Positive
prerequisites are emerging based on investments in CCUS. It is necessary to actively
develop projects to improve the energy efficiency of industrial enterprises by reducing
unjustified losses and also to introduce renewable energy sources more mobile. |
