Annotation:

The authors of the article consider topical questions relating to the formation of a mandatory reporting system of oil and gas producing enterprises on greenhouse gas emissions in the light of the climate regulation dynamic development in the Russian Federation. The threshold values and criteria of classifying companies as regulated organizations are analyzed. The main attention is paid to the problems and methods of monitoring the reliability of the data provided. The existing methods applied for calculating greenhouse gas emissions, their limitations and development prospects, including the possibility of automating inspections and the impact of international carbon regulation systems, are investigated. The necessity of integrating various forms of statistical reporting is noted, which makes it possible to speed up the data verification process. The prospects for the introduction of a carbon tax in Russia and its impact on the process of reliability monitoring of greenhouse gas emissions reporting are considered. The conclusion is made about the necessity of clarifying the criteria for the inclusion of organizations obliged to provide information on greenhouse gas emissions; the relevance of the industrial methods development and the perfection of improvements of verification tools to minimize the risks of distortion of reporting is substantiated.
