GHG Emissions Management
Management of GHG emissions is an essential part of the Gazprom Group’s strategy. The Company’s corporate system for managing GHG emissions ensures proper reporting, monitoring and regulation of emissions as required by the applicable Russian laws and international and national standards. To reflect the global low-carbon economic trend, PJSC Gazprom developed its Climate Roadmap through 2050 and sustainable development scenarios through 2050. The Company has also defined key performance indicators, low‑carbon development pathways, measures to reduce and offset its GHG emissions, and short‑, medium‑, and long‑term actions to adapt its production activities to climate change.
All entities of the Gazprom Group monitor and report GHG emissions in accordance with the Methodological Guidance on the Quantification of Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Entities Engaging in Business and Other Activities in the Russian FederationApproved by order of the Russian Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment No. 371 dated May 27, 2022..
Taking into account the change in the methane emission conversion factor to carbon dioxide equivalent (over a 100-year time span) from 25 to 28Pursuant to the Russian Government’s order No. 805-r dated April 4, 2025., the greenhouse gas emission values for previous years have been recalculated.

In addition to emission calculations based on Global Warming Potential (GWP), the Gazprom Group presented separate assessments using the Global Temperature change Potential (GTP).
Use of the 100-year GTP in line with the recommendations of the IPCC and the resolution adopted by the Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the Paris AgreementDecision 18 / CMA.1, Annex 37. helps provide a more unbiased picture of the climate impact produced by GHG emissions. Accordingly, a conversion factor of 6 was used to assess fossil methane (CH4) emissions in СО2-equivalent under the alternative calculation approach.
Based on the GTP methodology, the Gazprom Group’s GHG emissions in 2025 amounted to 192.72 mmt of CO2-equivalent, while emissions from PJSC Gazprom entities totaled 69.88 mmt of CO2-equivalent.
Indirect GHG emissions (Scope 2) associated with the generation of power, heat or steam purchased from third parties are calculated across the entire production chain of PJSC Gazprom entities by types of activities and Gazprom Group entities.

Carbon Footprint of Products (Scope 3)
The Gazprom Group assesses its 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 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 2025, TGC-1 (Gazprom Energoholding) and Novosalavatskaya CHPP (Gazprom Neftekhim Salavat) produced 12.94 billion kWh of energy by way of hydro power 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.
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 18,939.1 thousand kWh of solar power in 2024.

Excluding hydro power units, the Gazprom Group operated 3,367 renewable and secondary energy facilities in 2025. The total electric power generated by these power units amounted to 24,275.71 thousand kWh.
The Gazprom Group is developing new technologies in gas production, transportation, underground storage, processing and distribution. They are focused on improving energy efficiency.
The implementation of planned measures leveraging such technologies prevented GHG emissions of 45.2 mmt of CO2-equivalent in 2025, including:
- 2.9 mmt of СО2-equivalent in production;
- 41.7 mmt of СО2-equivalent in transportation;
- 0.3 mmt of СО2-equivalent in underground storage;
- 0.3 mmt of СО2-equivalent in processing.
For more details on energy efficiency technologies and projects of the Gazprom Group, see the Introduction of Energy-Efficient Technologies subsection.
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;
- 0.03% of processed natural and associated petroleum gas.
For more details on prevention of methane releases, see the Introduction of Energy-Efficient Technologies subsection.
Tomsk
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 prototype was developed in collaboration with Russia’s leading AI developer and deployed at one of the Company’s gas compressor stations.

The rise in methane emissions in the processing segment resulted from increased gas volumes sent for flaring and higher process losses incurred during scheduled maintenance at the Surgut Condensate Stabilization Plant operated by Gazprom Pererabotka.
Methane Emission Prevention Using Mobile Compressor Stations
Using mobile compressor stations during pipeline repair preparations prevents methane emissions. Gazprom MKS runs the largest climate project within the national infrastructure set up under the Federal Law On Limiting Greenhouse Gas Emissions, which is registered in the Russian Carbon Unit Register.
Running from 2019 to 2029, the project spans the entire Unified Gas Supply System of Russia – from the Yamal Peninsula in the northeast of European Russia to the Kazakhstan border in the south – covering all trunkline sections scheduled for maintenance.
As of the end of 2025, 28.31 million carbon units were issued, representing 77.1% of all carbon units ever issued in the Russia.
Taking into account carbon unit transactions concluded during the reporting year, now outstanding are 28.28 million carbon units generated by the climate project of Gazprom MKS titled “Prevention of Greenhouse Gas (Methane) Emissions through the Use of Mobile Compressor Stations during Preparation of Trunkline Sections for Maintenance”. As part of the climate project, a total of 49,928,002 carbon units are scheduled for issuance by 2029.

For more information on the project, see the website of the Russian Carbon Unit Register.
In 2025, Gazprom registered two additional climate projects, under which carbon units have been issued.
The first, a pioneering hydroelectric project in Russia, modernized the Verkhne‑Tulomskaya HPP. The upgrade raised its capacity from 268 MW to 300 MW, helping displace coal and fuel‑oil power in the Murmansk Region grid. The project issued 8,353 carbon units for emission reductions achieved in 2022–2024. Going forward, TGC‑1 expects to cut emissions by an average of 5,000 tons of CO2-equivalent annually.
The second project was registered in the Russian Carbon Unit Register by Mosenergo. It aims to cut stationary fuel combustion emissions by upgrading power unit No. 9 at CHPP‑22. Over the project’s ten‑year crediting period, total emission reductions are expected to exceed 635,000 tons of CO2.
