MOSCOW, 7 APR - RIA Novosti. New projects for the development of the Northern sea route do not pose a threat to the nature of the Arctic, because they use environmentally friendly technologies, which was noted by foreign companies, said the Minister of natural resources and ecology of the Russian Federation Dmitry Kobylkin.
In an interview with "Rossiyskaya Gazeta" on the eve of the V international Arctic forum "Arctic - territory of dialogue" Kobylkin said that he does not see climate risks in connection with the rapid development of the Northern sea route...
300 Russian and 46 foreign companies will take part in the Arctic forum
"... we are focused on the "green" fuel in the Arctic, we have unique nuclear icebreakers that do not give a drop of fuel oil or a drop of emissions. The projects implemented by NOVATEK in the Arctic, Yamal LNG, fully comply with international standards. And many foreign companies were struck as far as Russia moved ahead regarding technologies and green fuel - liquefied natural gas which practically does not cause damage to the atmosphere", - the Minister told.
The international Arctic forum "Arctic - the territory of dialogue", which will be held in St. Petersburg on April 9-10, is one of the key platforms for discussing the problems and prospects of the Arctic region at the world level. The main subject of the forthcoming forum will sound as "the Arctic. Ocean of opportunities". (...)" [https://ria.ru/20190407/1552461090.html?utm_source=yxnews&utm_medium=desktop]
The comment.
1. Oddly enough, on the same subject, different people may have different points of view.
But, suppose, according to the publications, representatives of independent environmental organizations have difficult access to the Novaya Zemlya area. So the emergence of different points of view is difficult.
Remove restrictions on access to the Arctic by representatives of independent environmental organizations. It will be nice to know that environmental risks are absent or are reducing.
2. An interesting phrase: "Those projects that are implemented in the Arctic by NOVATEK, the Yamal LNG, fully comply with international standards."
For example, personally I already understand that in the different countries of the Arctic there are different approaches to utilization of garbage (on the Arctic territories). And what are the "international standards" in this matter?...
A curious phrase - about "compliance to the international standards" ...
3. Probably, the most careful concerning ecology of the Arctic are the Chinese companies? They have the highest level of ecological expenses in product cost?.
Some in media there are mentions about wood procurement in Siberia ... According to "international standards" production and export of wood were carried out?...
