In reviewing climate risks and approving climate goals, PJSC Gazprom’s Board of Directors is guided by the Company’s Climate Strategy through 2050. The Chairman of the Management Committee ensures general management of the Gazprom Group’s low-carbon transition efforts and determines development priorities with a focus on climate factors. The Management Committee of PJSC Gazprom reviews climate risks, signs off climate goals, and approves initiatives to reduce GHG emissions.
The Company regularly assesses regulatory, market, technology and reputation risks associated with the transition to a low-carbon economy, including risks across the entire value chain. The Gazprom Group applies a scenario-based approach to risk assessment (at least two scenarios) and identifies new business opportunities arising out of low-carbon transition.
Analysis of climate-related opportunities enables the Company to take steps to enhance resource efficiency and expand the use of gas, including as a natural gas vehicle (NGV) fuel.
In response to the global low-carbon trend and climate change, the Gazprom Group continues to adapt its strategy to the evolving environment, and the emergence of new technologies and carbon regulation frameworks, while also supporting suppliers and customers (consumers) in reducing GHG emissions.
To identify additional GHG reduction measures and prioritize initiatives included in short- and long-term R&D and investment programs in the context of sustainable development in a low-carbon economy, the Group takes consistent steps to create a comfortable working environment, including by protecting employees and their families from the adverse effects of climate change
The Company regularly participates in the sessions of the Conference of the Parties (COP) to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change. In 2024, PJSC Gazprom’s delegation visited Baku to attend COP 29.
The Company’s representatives gave a speech at the Energy Day event hosted by the Russian Ministry of Energy, highlighting the significant contribution of Russia’s gas industry and PJSC Gazprom to global energy security and emphasizing the advantages of natural gas as an energy source (environmental friendliness, efficiency, and technological availability).
Management of Climate Change Adaptation
The Gazprom Group applies unified approaches to the identification and assessment of climate-related risks and opportunities in accordance with Russian laws, corporate requirements, IFRS S1 and S2 recommendations, and ISO 14090. The Company also consistently monitors and evaluates these risks, considers the negative impacts of various climate factors on its operations across the entire value chain, uses scenario-based approaches, and conducts stress testing for resilience.
The Gazprom Group regularly identifies and assesses risks in two key categories: physical climate risks and low-carbon transition risks.
| Risk | Impact | Mitigation |
|---|---|---|
| Physical climate risks | ||
| Long-term physical risks are risks associated with climate change in the regions where the Company operates | ||
| Extremely high/low temperatures, unusual precipitation, wind speeds, and other weather anomalies caused by temperature changes |
|
|
| Extreme physical risks are risks associated with unfavorable weather conditions and natural disasters caused by climate change | ||
| Increased frequency and duration of extreme hazardous weather and climate phenomena |
|
|
| Energy transition risks | ||
| Political, regulatory, market, technology and reputation risks | ||
|
|
|
Opportunities associated with climate change include:
- development and/or expansion of low-emission products and services, and use and marketing of low-carbon energy sources (primarily natural gas);
- implementation of climate projects and participation in carbon markets;
- creation, development and application of new low-carbon technologies, including hydrogen energy powered by natural gas;
- enhancement of stakeholder trust and the confidence of international partners from friendly countries;
- more efficient and sustainable use of fuel and energy resources in production processes.
As part of risk and opportunity assessments, the Gazprom Group analyzes the potential impact of each risk on its operations and develops preventive measures based on risk materialization scenarios to mitigate any negative consequences.
To minimize the impact of physical risks, the Company implements a wide range of climate adaptation initiatives. As one example, PJSC Gazprom put in place a corporate program for adapting its operations to evolving climate and geocryological conditions by taking into account probable scenarios of climate changes in the areas where the Company’s production facilities are located and by adhering to the ISO 14090 requirements.
Drawing on both historical data and new insights obtained through modern technologies, the program helps identify trends in the natural and human-induced evolution of permafrost soils. The Company relies on these inputs and the guidelines issued by Russia’s Ministry of Economic DevelopmentApproved by order of the Russian Ministry of Economic Development No. 267 dated May 13, 2021. to develop comprehensive measures for adapting its production operations to evolving climate and geocryological conditions, including as regards regulatory requirements, technology advancements, and information management.
Research by institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences (including the Institute of Environmental Geoscience and the Institute of Petroleum Geology and Geophysics) titled “Adaptation technologies to ensure the safety of production facilities under changing geocryological conditions” enabled the development of comprehensive solutions to adapt PJSC Gazprom’s production operations to evolving climate and geocryological conditions.
The design process for each production facility involves conducting surveys to gather and analyze information about physical and climatic conditions in the prospective area, including temperature ranges and mean monthly and yearly temperatures. The collected data is used to identify key parameters affecting hydrocarbon treatment technologies and transportation conditions, and develop geocryological protection solutions for pipelines and the foundations of buildings and structures.

The Gazprom Group assesses indirect (Scope 3) GHG emissions resulting from the use of products as fuels or feedstock both in Russia and abroad. The calculation includes GHG emissions from all types of sold products – natural gas, oil and gas condensate, automotive gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, liquefied petroleum gas, and fuel oil.
Use of Renewable and Secondary Energy Sources
The Gazprom Group uses and promotes alternative energy sources wherever it is economically and technically feasible, particularly in remote or technologically isolated areas.
We take advantage of renewable and secondary energy resources to generate energy for internal needs and sale to third-party consumers. Solar and wind generators, gas flow heat and energy power converters are widely used at production facilities, gas trunkline facilities and gas distribution networks to ensure routine power supply to telemetry systems, electrochemical protection of pipelines, lighting, etc.
In 2024, TGC-1 (Gazprom Energoholding) and Novosalavatskaya CHPP (Gazprom Neftekhim Salavat) produced 12.86 billion kWh of energy by way of hydropower generation. The majority of this output is attributed to the hydro power plants of TGC-1, which make a significant contribution to the green energy sector of Russia’s Northwestern Federal District.
Excluding hydro power units, the Gazprom Group operated 3,178 renewable and secondary energy facilities in 2024. The total electric power generated by these power units amounted to 14,744.4 thousand kWh.
Gazprom Neft actively pilots alternative energy projects and digitalization of refineries’ energy systems. The company is expanding its renewable energy generation, including solar power plants at the Omsk Oil Refinery with a total installed capacity of 20 MW. The reporting year saw completion of a new solar plant at the Omsk Oil Refinery, which generated 10 697.4 thousand kWh of solar power in 2024.

Reduction of Methane Emissions
To reduce methane emissions, the Gazprom Group implements innovations and resource-saving measures, while also developing and applying the following technologies for preserving gas during maintenance:
- using distribution stations to deliver gas to customers;
- blowing natural gas from the section under repairs into an active pipeline;
- using gas from a compressor shop’s process pipelines for internal needs.
The Company is also introducing mobile compressor stations to prevent methane releases during gas trunkline repairs. This is an efficient technology that helps channel up to 80% of methane from disabled sections into an active pipeline, and thus reduce fuel losses and minimize air impact.
PJSC Gazprom also uses 24/7 monitoring systems to detect methane leaks in the ambient air. These systems are equipped with remote laser methane detectors and automatically issue alerts when gas concentrations exceed permissible levels.
Methane detection at Gazprom facilities is also addressed by employing detectors installed in helicopters or unmanned aerial vehicles. Moreover, PJSC Gazprom is introducing cutting-edge methods of monitoring methane emissions by leveraging satellite technologies.
All these initiatives minimize methane emissions across the natural gas production and supply chain. Methane emissions at Gazprom facilities are extremely low:
- 0.03% of produced gas at the production stage;
- 0.20% of transported gas at the stage of pipeline transportation;
- 0.04% of stored gas at the stage of underground storage.
In 2024, PJSC Gazprom entities prevented bleeding of more than 2 bcm of natural gas used for internal processes primarily thanks to gas conservation through the deployment of mobile compressor stations (828.8 mcm of gas), using distribution stations to deliver gas to customers (523.7 mcm), and blowing natural gas from the section under repairs into an adjacent pipeline section (325.7 mcm). Taking into account initiatives implemented in the gas transportation segment, prevented methane emissions in 2024 came in at 35.7 mmt of CO2 equivalent.
For more details on the Gazprom Group’s environmental regulations, see Implementing Advanced Technologies.
New Level of Leak Detection
At St. Petersburg International Gas Forum, Gazprom Transgaz Tomsk unveiled a prototype of a multifunctional patrol robot equipped with a laser gas analyzer and designed to autonomously conduct routine inspections of production facilities and scan for potential methane leaks. The robot’s capabilities can be expanded by installing additional devices and sensors.

The increase in methane emissions in the processing segment was due to the growth of natural gas processing volumes and the increase in loaded start-up operations of Gazprom Pererabotka Blagoveshchensk.
PJSC Gazprom is the leading Russian company by the number of carbon units registered in the national carbon unit register, which accounts for 85% of all carbon units currently in circulation.
PJSC Gazprom in the carbon unit market
In 2024, we continued to run the climate project “Prevention of Greenhouse Gas (Methane) Emissions through the Use of Mobile Compressor Stations during Preparation of Trunkline Sections for Maintenance”.
The project seeks to harness the potential of mobile compressor stations (MCS) for conserving gas during maintenance preparations on trunk pipelines.
As part of the climate project, 49,928,002 carbon units are scheduled for issuance in 2029.
During the reporting period from October 1, 2019 to December 31, 2022, actual reduction (prevention) of GHG emissions amounted to 28,306,837 tons of CO2 equivalent (as confirmed by estimates of GHG emissions during verification). Russia’s carbon unit register now lists 28.3 million carbon units equivalent to the relevant decrease in GHG emissions, which makes our undertaking the largest climate project currently recorded in the national register.
Advancing the NGV Fuel Market
Use of natural gas as an NGV fuel helps bolster public health, mitigate the environmental impact by choosing an eco-friendly gas fuel, and reduce refueling expenses for car owners thanks to more attractive prices.
As motor fuel, natural gas is used in two forms:
Compressed natural gas (CNG) is sold through CNG filling stations, where it is treated, dried, pressurized in a compressor, and sent to a vehicle’s tank at a pressure of 200 atm.
Key consumers of CNG are passenger vehicles, light trucks, light-duty vehicles, and municipal service vehicles.
Liquefied natural gas (LNG) is natural gas cooled down to –161.5 °С. Upon cooling, gas takes liquid form, with its volume reduced 600 times. LNG is transported and stored in cryogenic tanks and sold to consumers via cryogenic filling stations or CNG filling stations with cryogenic equipment.
Key consumers of LNG are long-distance motor vehicles, railways, water transport, and quarry and agricultural machines.
NGV advantages over traditional automotive fuels
Environmental benefits
Specific GHG emissions from NGV fuel are 1.7 times lower than for diesel, and 2 times lower than for gasoline (throughout the entire fuel life cycle, from extraction to production). Emissions of toxic substances from NGV fuel are significantly lower. For example, carbon monoxide emissions are 30% lower compared to diesel. Using NGV fuel instead of petroleum-based fuels reduces nitrogen oxide and hydrocarbon emissions, decreases smoke pollution, and eliminates soot generation typical of diesel engines.
Economic benefits
The price of natural gas as a motor fuel is usually maintained at less than 50% of the price of diesel fuel sold in the region. The cost per kilometer of methane-powered transport is on average two times lower compared to vehicles running on traditional fuels.

| GHG, thousand tons of CO2equivalent | 533.8 | 524.8 | 500.0 |
| Pollutants, mmt | 46.8 | 46.0 | 43.8 |
Gazprom Gazomotornoye Toplivo is the single operator responsible for the development of the NGV fuel market in Russia. The company sells gas as a motor fuel and develops a retail network of CNG filling stations across Russia under the Gazprom and EcoGas brands.
PJSC Gazprom continues to champion accelerated development of the gas filling network. By the end of 2024, the number of CNG filling stations operated by the Gazprom Group increased by 3.7% due to the commissioning of new facilities.
In the reporting year, the CNG sales of Gazprom Group entities and Gazprom Gazomotornoye Toplivo in its own network of CNG filling stations in Russia reached 839.5 mcm.
The Gazprom Group continues to collaborate with the leading automotive manufacturers to increase the number of available models for gas-powered vehicles and machinery. Simultaneously, we are exploring the use of gas in other types of transport (for example, rail and water).
Gazprom Gazomotornoye Toplivo and the Government of the Moscow Region are implementing a joint project to expand the use of environmentally friendly public transport. The transition to NGVs in the Moscow Region is expected to deliver significant fuel cost savings and reduce GHG and pollutant emissions. Dolgoprudny is being considered as a host city for a pilot fleet of 200 methane-powered buses.
Gazprom Group entities continue to increase the use of natural gas as motor fuel in their own vehicle fleets. As of December 31, 2024, the number of natural gas vehicles stood at 23,500, with 1,702 such vehicles purchased in the reporting year. In 2023, consumption of natural gas (methane) as motor fuel came in at 101 mcm.
For more details on the Gazprom Group’s contribution to the NGV fuel market, see the Gazprom Annual Report 2024.
Hydrogen Energy
PJSC Gazprom leads the charge in developing hydrogen energy in Russia (section “Hydrogen Energy Development and Industry and Transport Decarbonization Driven by Natural Gas” of the Hydrogen Energy Development roadmap). To support this high-tech area, the Russian Government and PJSC Gazprom signed a Letter of Intent, under which the Company continues to develop competitive domestic technologies and pilot hydrogen energy projects. The key tool for furthering this Letter of Intent is the joint implementation of the Hydrogen Energy Development roadmap through 2030, which was approved by the interdepartmental working group on hydrogen energy in the Russian Federation.
The mentioned objectives are pursued mainly through research, design and technology development across the following areas:
