The energy transition has become a global movement. More and more countries and companies are adopting ambitious plans for decarbonization and sustainable development. Russian and Eurasian oil and gas companies are also moving in this direction: they declare their aspirations to achieve carbon neutrality, implement renewable energy projects, develop hydrogen energy strategies and mechanisms for reducing greenhouse gases. The course towards a green economy has become the global scenario for overcoming the COVID-19 crisis.

At the same time, 2020 has been an unprecedented year in terms of accidental oil spills, which testifies to the deterioration of infrastructure, insufficient investment and irreversible global warming, which threatens not only the oil and gas industry, but all of humanity.
