The global market for carbon reduction credits is worth more than $20 billion and booming. And its important that companies like Gazprom try to enter the market. Every second ton of carbon emissions in Russia represents wasted energy: this waste is created down the line, from archaic technology in gas and oil pipelines to unregulated full-blast heating in apartment buildings.

I think companies will only act in an environmentally-friendly manner if they have economic incentives to do so.

Gazprom stands to gain an estimated $2.6 billion (€2 bn) in carbon credits from optimizing its own operation - simply by fixing leaks and overhauling its own compressors.
