Abstract—

The article discusses the conceptual foundations and methodological approaches related to regulation of the processes of decarbonization of the Russian economy in light of the implementation of the Strategy of Low Greenhouse Gas Emissions Socio-Economic Development of the Russian Federation for the period until 2050. A conceptual scheme for a regional dimension of the development of scenarios of decarbonization of the Russian economy, including its key industries—nonenergy sectors, which is especially relevant in the context of significant spatial differentiation both in terms of indicators of socio-economic development and industry structure of individual Russian regions and in terms of location of greenhouse gas-intensive industries. The proposed approach to regionalization of greenhouse gas emissions is based on determination of the regional structure of production and its technological landscape, as well as integral estimates of prospects for decarbonization in individual regions. The results can be used in the development of scenarios of decarbonization of the Russian economy and its individual industries.
