Structure of Fuel Supply and Estimation of Carbon Intensity of Energy Production in Eastern Regions of Russia

The data on the consumption of fuel and energy resources at power facilities in the eastern regions of Russia are analyzed It was found that in the subjects of the Siberian and Far Eastern Federal Districts the most used types of fuel as a percentage of all fuel and energy resources, respectively, are: brown coal (35.5 and 31.2 %), hard coal (31.9 and 23.6 %), natural gas (22.9 and 34.0 %). It was found that the structure of CO 2 emissions fully corresponds to the structure of fuel consumption of power facilities in the eastern regions of the Russian Federation. The carbon intensity of energy production was assessed, which revealed the subjects with the highest values of this indicator: in the Siberian Federal District – Kemerovo Region, Kuzbass and the Republic of Tyva, in the Far Eastern Federal District – Zabaikalsky Krai and Magadan Region. It is noted that the main impact on carbon intensity is made by the type and volume of fuel combusted, as well as energy production technologies.
