Hello, my name is Nikolay, I'm from Russia. 1. What are the dominant fossil fuels used in your country? As you know, Russia is rich in natural resources. In our country, a large number of various kinds of resources are extracted. As fuel, oil, natural gas and coal are widely used. Russia is one of the world's leaders in the extraction and use of these types of resources. At present, natural gas is increasingly used, and gradually replaces other fossil fuels. As for the city boilers producing heat and hot water, an increasing number of them will switch to gas. Coal is used less and less for these purposes. Of course, the leader in motor fuel is gasoline and diesel fuel. Where are the dominant fossil fuels mainly used for in your country? Russia is a country, most of which are very cold. Therefore, more resources are consumed for heating houses. Also in our industry there is such a situation that it is quite energy intensive, which also leads to significant energy expenditure. In addition, there is an increase in the automotive fleet in Russia, which also leads to a significant use of resources. It seems to me that transport will consume more and more resources in the future. It is your task to create a new policy in order to improve the environmental friendly and sustainable sources and consumption of energy of your country. In my opinion, the policy in the field of resource use should be based on the consideration of environmental aspects in the production and consumption of resources, and should also be based on the principles of the use of renewable resources. Russia in geographical terms is a complicated country. In some parts of its territory, it is possible to use solar batteries in cities. This experience already exists in our country. However, many areas gzhde few days of sunshine and the use of this technology will not be effective. In this case, wind generation can be used. Our view on optimizing the use of energy in cities needs to be approached in a comprehensive manner. There are very good prospects for increasing the use of electricity in transport. And in our country, such developments are under way. The main issue in this direction is the search for sufficient funding for the development and implementation of innovative energy programs in the country.
