Half oil reserves can be unclaimed after 2030, Lukoil’s vice president, Leonid Fedun, predicted, writes TASS.
in his opinion, most of the European oil and gas industry may even “otmery” due to the introduction of carbon tax. Fedun added that the transition to the carbon-neutral economy would lead to the fact that the oilmen will compete for effective resources. The demand for oil will begin to decline, as a result, from 20 to 50 percent of world stocks of raw materials will not be needed.
The losses of Russian exporter enterprises from the introduction of carbon tax in Europe can be three billion euros every year, previously stated the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs Alexander Kozlov.
He called the bill on restricting greenhouse gas emissions the basis for changing the economic structure. In August last year, the Deputy Championship of the Security Council of Russia Dmitry Medvedev called the carbon tax “hidden protectionism under a favorable pretext.” We are talking about a desire to set up a new fee of goods, in the production of which there are carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere.
