This study addresses the methodology of projecting the electric power industry developments, taking into account environmental constraints. I obtained quantitative assessments of long-term electric power industry development in a Russian region, determined the emission of greenhouse gases from fuel combustion at thermal power plants (TPPs), and the efficiency of technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the electric power industry.

New technologies can significantly reduce CO2 emissions in Russia's electric power industry, enabling it to meet international commitments to reduce emissions.

Prospects of using new technologies in Russia’s electric power industry to comply with international commitments to reduce CO2 emissions

Key Takeaway: New technologies can significantly reduce CO2 emissions in Russia's electric power industry, enabling it to meet international commitments to reduce emissions.
