Russia Region
The Russia Federation is rich in energy resources, containing globally significant hydrocarbon provinces that host the largest known reserves of natural gas of any nation state. As a transition fuel, natural gas has the potential to significantly reduce carbon dioxide emissions if used in place of other fossil fuels, especially coal. As a consequence, Russia will inevitably continue to play a major role in energy production as the world transitions to a lower carbon energy future. The sheer size of Russia and the variety of its geology means that ongoing geological fieldwork and research will be needed to support hydrocarbon production and exploration.
