Disclosure of information about carbon units for the purpose of making management decisions

the article discusses the current problem of carbon dioxide emissions and their impact on climate change. The author examines the environmental, economic and technological aspects of decarbonization, paying special attention to the role of the Russian Federation in the context of international climate initiatives. Carbon dioxide, being one of the main greenhouse gases, contributes to global warming, which leads to abnormal weather events, melting glaciers and disruption of ecosystems. The authors analyze the sources of CO2 generation, including fuel combustion, industrial processes, fermentation, and other anthropogenic factors. The article also provides statistics on emissions in the world and in Russia. Special attention is paid to the role of the carbon market as a regulation of emissions. The mechanisms of operation of carbon units and credits that allow companies to trade emissions quotas are described. In Russia, the legislative framework for regulating emissions is enshrined in Federal Law No. 296. The author describes the first steps to implement the carbon market in Russia, considering such climate projects as the experiment in the Sakhalin region. The essay highlights the importance of climate strategies for large companies such as RusHydro and Norilsk Nickel, which are already implementing projects to reduce emissions.
