One of the most important achievements of Russia this year was the definition of the goals of the energy transition. This was stated in an interview with TASS by the special representative of the President of the Russian Federation for relations with international organizations on sustainable development Anatoly Chubais.
According to him, today Russia has “a goal-setting in the energy transition until 2021,” and this is “one of the most important achievements of the outgoing year.”
As the special representative of the president emphasized, “this is a major project that in the 21st century should change the country”. “And it is comparable to the situation in Russia in 1991-1992, when the goal was chosen – the construction of a market economy. Today, at the end of the year, one can calmly and confidently say that this milestone has been passed, “Chubais is convinced.
Let us also remind that earlier the chairman of the Russian Audit Chamber Alexei Kudrin during the forum “Made in Russia” called the global energy transition the biggest challenge for the Russian economy.
As the head of the control department explained, the energy transition, that is, the transformation of global energy from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources (RES), will force the replacement of Russian energy exports with industrial goods and services.
The energy transition is associated with decarbonization – a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions during production. Western countries are set to achieve full carbon neutrality by 2050.
