The study focuses on sustainability transitions in the oil and gas industry, particularly its strategies and perceptions towards mitigating climate change. The paper offers a quantitative analysis of survey data collected from 116 questionnaire responses involving representatives of oil and gas companies, academia and young professionals, supplemen...

This study investigates the role of the socio-technical regime in the global energy system transition towards sustainability within the context of exploitation of oil and natural gas resources, illustrated by the case of the Eurasian Arctic. The study design and methodology are inspired by a multi-level perspective framework. The Arctic case is exa...

The article analyzes the goals and objectives of sustainable development in the Arctic. One of the main factors that will ensure their implementation is the introduction of innovations in Arctic oil and gas and energy projects. The work contains many examples of innovative projectsboth in Russia and in Norway. The authors come to the conclusion tha...

The chapter focuses on different aspects and challenges of power supply for remote energy consumers in the Russian Arctic. The authors discuss the potential use of renewable energy, some specified technological features and risks related to the broader deployment of decentralized renewable energy systems in the Arctic region. Even though there is l...

This study provides a comprehensive, updated, and refined analysis of the challenges and opportunities for Russian natural gas exports based on recent statistical data, academic publications, and media sources. The paper addresses the lack of continuity in studies within the topic since the recent changes are not reflected well enough in the curren...

This study focuses on the mitigation of methane emissions from large-scale oil and gas infrastructure. It is built on two complementary cases of the Russian Federation and United States, who are two of the largest oil and natural gas producers, possess the most extensive oil and natural gas pipeline networks, and both deal with the emerging problem...

The Arctic is a specific geographical region with extreme climate conditions, vulnerable environment, but rather intensive ongoing industrialization. The Arctic requires alternative solutions to provide energy supply to the energy consumers due to the growing energy demand and small-scale decentralized character of energy supply. At the moment, the...

The study focuses on the challenging complexity of the energy industry transformation. Despite sustainability and climate concerns the exploitation of conventional oil and natural gas resources is ongoing. We investigate the case of Arctic offshore oil and natural gas resources exploitation through a set of interviews, providing two national exampl...

The global energy system is experiencing a transformation. An analysis of the dynamics of global energy production and consumption indicates that a paradigm shift is occurring toward more reliable and sustainable energy sources with the dominance of natural gas. Even though the reserves-to-production ratio for hydrocarbons is declining, it is natur...

The monograph focuses on the future development of the energy infrastructure in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, its features and challenges. Particular attention is paid to the broader deployment of renewable energy and the implementation of a sustainable development approach. It discusses the issues of optimizing the composition and str...

In this paper, we would like to draw your attention to the necessity of looking for infrastructural synergy of the Northern Sea Route (NSR). By that we mean an integrated development of the sea and inland transport routes, transport hubs, supporting infrastructure, and also the necessity of these for the Arctic region's socioeconomic development. T...

Biodiesel blending mandate has been established in Indonesia since 2006. After 11 years of implementation, the level of biodiesel penetration on the market is still lower than the target. Technological Innovation System (TIS) approach allows to map factors that influence, either hinder or boost, the diffusion of biodiesel technology. The challenges...

The paper explores challenges of power supply for remote users through the case of the Northern Sea Route (NSR) supportive infrastructure development and specially nature protected areas (NPA) of the Russian Arctic. The study is based on a comprehensive analysis of relevant data of the state of renewable energy in the Russian Arctic. The paper give...

SWP Research Paper 2016/RP 03, February 2016, 30 Pages The Arctic region has been an area of low tension since the end of the Cold War. This observation is important because the run on hydrocarbons in the Arctic has not resulted in increased rivalries as expected. The outcomes have been international joint ventures in oil and gas project on the e...
