The article deals with the current problem of managing greenhouse gas emissions in a company. The forecast data on the volume of greenhouse gas emissions in the fuel and energy sector of the Russian Federation up to 2030 are analyzed and trends in their changes are identified. It has been determined that the achievement of a low-carbon development path is possible only with the introduction of additional actions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. To systematically reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as well as to obtain up-to-date, complete and reliable data, a reliable accounting and monitoring system is required. At the same time, a scheme of interaction within the company should be clearly built for control of decarbonization. The development and implementation of a corporate greenhouse gas management system allows a company to effectively manage emissions in order to reduce them, which in turn creates the potential to transform corporate risks associated with climate change legislation into the category of opportunities such as attracting investors, access to carbon markets and others. The authors note that most large Russian companies have already developed and implemented corporate systems for managing greenhouse gas emissions.
After analyzing the stages of development of the existing greenhouse gas emissions management system of Zarubezhneft JSC, the authors propose to create a corporate greenhouse gas emissions management system, taking into account the specifics of the company. It is proposed to adapt the methodological approaches for calculating greenhouse gas emissions to the requirements of the legislation in force in the territory where the production facilities of Zarubezhneft JSC are located, and also to apply national coefficients in the calculation to provide more accurate emission estimates. The result of the study is the development of the concept of a corporate system for managing greenhouse gas emissions by Zarubezhneft JSC.
