Climate change, Russian Federation outlook
Basing this brief review on United Nation Report (Climate Change Secretariat), we can see in the figures below the evolution of the GHG emission for Russian Federation between 1990 and 2009.
From the comparison between 1990 and 2009 we can clearly say that many steps forward has been done in this country in terms of GHG reduction (Net emission removals > 600.000 tons).
Going over the sources of the GHG emissions, from the picture below we can see how the Energy sector was and still remains the primary cause of the emissions (from 81,18% of 1990 to 82,40% of 2009, almost the same value) probably caused by lack of renewable energies, R&D in new technologies and substantial inefficiency in the sector; besides only the Waste sector has considerable increase the emission (from 1,74% to 3,45%) while the other sectors has been more on less on the same trend.
Within the Energy sector emissions, it’s huge the emissions of GHG of the Energy industries, which support what has been just said; most probably the Russian Federation pays with high GHG emissions the abundance of fossil fuels within its territory, which means -in the same time- the non-necessity to change the source of energy at the moment.
