The energy conservation efforts in 2008 resulted in saving 2.4 billion cubic meters of gas, 250.8 million kWh of electricity and 204.6 Gcal of heat.
Our large-scale gas production and transmission projects are implemented in the regions with a highly fragile ecosystem requiring a very careful approach. We are fully aware of our responsibility for environmental impact with regard to the present and future generations.
In its business operations Gazprom pursues an environmental policy focused on resource saving, environmental impact mitigation and climate conservation.
All information on Gazprom’s environmental activities is available in special environmental reports and environmental services’ bulletins.
As part of its environmental activities Gazprom focuses, inter alia, on energy saving, namely, on efficient utilization of natural gas, electric and thermal power, diesel and boiler-furnace fuel in all of its production activities.
Utilization of natural gas, an environmentally friendly product, as a vehicle fuel is one of Gazprom's environmental priorities. A relatively low cost and eco-friendliness make natural gas a fuel of choice.
