An agreement on cooperation in the area of low-carbon energy use between ROSATOM and Roscongress Foundation was signed on May, 22, in St. Petersburg at the venue of the XI Nevsky International Ecological Congress.
Alexey Likhachev, Director General of ROSATOM, and Alexander Stuglev, Chairman of the Board and Director of Roscongress Foundation, affixed their signatures to this document.
The agreement is aimed to enhance cooperation in the area of “green” agenda, particularly to ensure carbon neutrality of the events arranged by Roscongress Foundation. “Nuclear” certificates from the Russian NPPs available for the consumers since the middle of 2024 will be used for these purposes. ROSATOM and Roscongress plan to develop interaction with regard to the “green” agenda issues and facilitate environmental protection awareness within the framework of the agreement implementation.
“Rosatom is the national leader in generation of low-carbon nuclear energy in the country, and “green” atom quality is strongly sought-after at the global market. “Green” certificates are widely used in many countries to achieve the climatic goals, and we are glad that atom can demonstrate its climatic efficiency through this tool which is relatively new for our country”, – Alexey Likhachev said.
“We observe great interest to the environmental agenda issues, and in accordance with this trend we have implemented the practice to confirm “green” quality of our events. We are happy that ROSATOM is ready to assist us in development of this area”, – Alexander Stuglev noted.
