This work is devoted to the feasibility of implementing capture and sequestration projects (CCS) in Russia, as well as to evaluation of the positive and negative aspects of implementation of CCS projects as a climate change mitigation technology. The study focuses on the current state of the problem of CO2 capture and disposal and considers possible implementation of CO2 sequestration projects in Russia. The negative and positive factors of CCS technology are also identified. The conclusion provides arguments for ...

Changes in market demand inevitably lead to changes in the assortment policy of oil companies. It is necessary to change the production capacity at the enterprise and the sales policy, demand profitable types of products that will be in demand among consumers. The competitive strategy of oil refining companies is currently largely determined by the drop in total global demand for dark oil products and the high rates of development of petrochemicals. The focus of the paper is on analysis and development of assortme...

The Russian Federation has the largest Arctic coastline and the highest level of population among the other Arctic nations. The Arctic region of the Russian Federation occupies the territory of more than 3 million square kilometers. It is the Mother land of more than 2 million people. The Arctic zone is a unique geographical, climatic and ecological region. It is considered to be a special object of the state administration. The importance of the sustainable development in the Arctic region is determined by the na...

The most emerging technologies for climate change mitigation are Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS). Some countries have been developing CCS and CCUS projects and they are at different stages of deployment at the moment. Despite signing of the international agreements on climate change mitigation, Russia does not provide development of CCS technologies and their deployment. Considering long-term development of such technologies, its major objective is to increase publi...

The article highlights the main problems of the mineral and raw resources replenishment in Russia, and gives recommendations on how to stimulate it. In recent years, in the general structure of reserves for the majority of minerals, the share of proven and prepared for mining reserves has significantly increased, while the share of estimated reserves and estimated resources has decreased. The work used analytical, abstract-logical and comparative methods of research. The key idea is that the development and purpos...

Currently one of the most worldwide significant tendencies is global warming. The greenhouse effect connected with increasing emissions of technogenic gases into the atmosphere is considered to be the main reason of global warming. Greenhouse effect has negative impact on environmental footprint. At the present time the mankind is obliged to take into consideration an ecological factor and make decisions to reduce ??2 emissions into the atmosphere. Up to date there is enough world experience of implementing projec...

In the paper the author has made attempt to prove economically sustainable and complex use of mineral deposits. The paper presents analytical, abstract and logical, comparative and economic-mathematical methods of doing the research. The author recommends to make assessment on the basis of calculation and analysis of the following indicators: cost-and-saving factor of investments for sustainable and complex use of fields; integrated economic effect at the state level; coefficients of rational utilization of minera...

The article depicts natural potential of the Arctic territory, provides shares in fuel and energy and mineral resources extracted in the Arctic region of Russia. An importance of arctic oil and gas projects for Russian and the World economies has been noted. It has also been noticed that localization of equipment production and the development of technologies aimed at the offshore oil and gas extraction in the Arctic region of the Russian Federation may become a driver to stimulate import replacement, as well as t...
