TASS, October 14. Replacing old diesel stations in the Arctic zone of Russia with new ones, created in 2021, will reduce the carbon footprint of the macroregion by 20%. This was announced by Vasily Potemkin, Managing Director of the Corporation for the Development of the Far East and the Arctic.
“If we are talking about the green agenda and generally about reducing, including the carbon footprint and, in general, the pollution of the Arctic, then we can say that even replacing a 1980 diesel engine with a 2021 diesel unit will reduce these emissions, I will not be mistaken, by 30% probably by financial models, by 20% for sure, “he said at the Russian Energy Week.
Potemkin added that the renewal of diesel stations will several times reduce the amount of ineffectively burned diesel, as well as reduce the budget burden on northern delivery. In his opinion, the next stage of the energy transition could be the creation of hybrid installations.
Northern Delivery is an annual campaign for the advance delivery of firewood, coal, diesel fuel, oils and gasoline to remote settlements.
International Forum Russian Energy Week is a discussion platform in Russia aimed at discussing the challenges and prospects for the development of the global fuel and energy complex. This year the conference is being held in the Moscow Manege on October 13-15.
