Over half the energy in Russia is from fossil gas and almost a quarter from oil.
Energy consumption across Russia in 2020 was 7,863 TWh. Russia is a leading global exporter of oil and natural gasand is the fourth highest greenhouse emitter in the world. In 2019 Russia adopted the Paris Agreement. Although Russia aims to be carbon neutral by 2060, its assumptions on its greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels being absorbed by forests have been questioned.
This list is based on the CIA World Factbook (when no citation is given). or other authoritative third-party sources (as cited). Based on data from EIA, at the start of 2021, proven gas reserves were dominated by three countries: Iran, Russia, and Qatar.
There is some disagreement on which country has the largest proven gas reserves. Sources that consider Russia in possession of the world's largest proven reserves include the US CIA (47,600 cubic kilometers), the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) (49,000 km), and OPEC (48,810 km). However, BP credits Russia with only 32,900 km, which would place it in second place, slightly behind Iran (33,100 to 33,800 km, depending on the source).
