Moscow as an example of a methodological approach to a comprehensive assessment of the environmental safety of heat supply

The letter of the Ministry of Energy of the Russian Federation No. MU-4343/09, dated 15 April 2020, defines recommendations for the content of heat supply systems for cities in accordance with Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 154, dated 22 February 2012. It is necessary to assess the environmental safety on urban heat supply. The authors propose a methodological approach to the development of the ‘Environmental safety of heat supply’ part, taking into account the regulatory framework of pollutant emissions that defined by regulatory legal acts in Russia. The article highlights the issues of creating a database of pollution sources, conducting an inventory of emissions, using automated algorithms to calculate the dispersion of pollutants, and creating a geo-information layer of pollutants for the electronic model of a heat supply system.
