At the Gazprom Group, most of the waste is Gazprom Neft’s drilling waste, Gazprom Energoholding’s bottom ash waste (solid coal combustion products generated by TPPs), as well as oil sludge mainly generated by oil and gas production and processing facilities.

The decline in the Gazprom Group’s waste generation ensues from a reduction in Gazprom Energoholding’s bottom ash waste by 64% due to the growing share of natural gas in the fuel mix.
