Russia fossil fuel tracker

Germany paid Russia more than $12.5 billion for fossil fuels during the first 100 days of the Ukraine invasion, an analysis shows. Russia earned $97 billion in revenue from fossil fuel exports from February 24 to June 3, according to an During this time, Germany was Moscow's biggest client for pipeline gas with imports hitting around $8.3 million, per the analysis. Having said this, the analysis showed that China surpassed Germany as the largest importer of all fossil fuels from Russia. Germany has cut Russia's oil and gas imports by 25% and 31%, respectively, since President Vladimir Putin's troops invaded Ukraine, per the analysis. Germany continues to rely on Russia for Trailing behind Germany were Italy and the Netherlands, which both paid Russia around $8 billion for fossil fuels, and then Turkey, which spent nearly $7 billion on imports, according to CREA's analysis. Since the beginning of the Ukraine war, Russia has supplied the European Union with 85% of pipeline gas, 75% of liquefied natural gas, 50% of crude oil, 30% of coal, per the analysis. Overall, the EU has spent around $59 billion on 61% of Russia's fossil fuel exports, the analysis said. European Union leaders reached an

In this country profile, Carbon Brief examines the state of climate and energy policies in Russia, home to some of the world’s largest reserves of coal, oil and gas. Russia is currently the fourth largest greenhouse gas emitter behind China, the US and India. In addition, it is the world’s third-highest carbon emitter in history, responsible for some 7% of The nation relies heavily on revenues from oil and gas exports, which in 2021 made up Before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, Russia was the EU’s It has the world’s seventh-largest fleet of Last Autumn, Putin Around two-thirds of Russia is covered by Russia is already experiencing severe impacts from climate change, such as intense and frequent Due to the vast scale of its Carbon Brief Country Profiles • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Russia, also officially known as the Russian Federation, is a federal semi-presidential republic, comprising 83 The country has the world’s 11th largest economy, with a The first Putin has occupied this role for 10 years, since 2012.

The CAT rates Russia’s current policies as “Highly insufficient” when compared to modelled domestic pathways. The “Highly insufficient” rating indicates that Russia’s policies and action in 2030 lead to rising, rather than falling, emissions and are not at all consistent with limiting warming to 1.5°C. If all countries were to follow Russia’s approach, warming could reach over 3°C and up to 4°C. We do not observe any substantial change in Russia’s efforts to tackle climate change. Its few relevant policies are unambitious or have unclear expected effect on emissions. Russia's existing policies indicate no real commitment to curb emissions. In June 2021, Russia adopted its heavily watered-down climate bill that, unlike the original iteration of the legislation, does not enforce emissions quotas nor impose penalties on large GHG emitters. Instead, its main provision simply requires companies to report their emissions from 2024. Considerable uncertainty remains in Russia’s renewable energy sector. Russia has no targets in place beyond its unambitious non-hydro generation target of 4.5% by 2024, which it will not meet. In the transport sector, Russia has taken steps to promote the production and purchase of EVs. As part of its Transport Strategy Until 2030, Russia has also proposed measures to reduce transport emissions through low-carbon infrastructure and alternative fuels. Though the CAT’s qualitative analysis does touch on some of the near-term implications of Russia’s ill...
