RUSSIA: Country is still a huge producer and consumer of oil and gas. Part One.

The video explores Russia's energy sector, focusing on the environmental impact of oil and gas extraction, particularly methane flaring by Rosneft. Despite promises to reduce flaring by 2030, significant challenges remain. The video highlights the environmental damage from past oil spills and methane leaks, and discusses the role of technology in tracking flaring emissions. Solutions like processing gases into polymers are proposed to mitigate the impact.
