Russia’s real gross domestic product (GDP) surpassed average growth rates in all other G8 countries. Russia’s economic growth over the past seven years has been driven primarily by energy exports, given the increase in Russian oil production and relatively high world oil prices during the period.

Internally, Russia gets over half of its domestic energy needs from natural gas, up from around 49 percent in 1992. Since then, the share of energy use from coal and nuclear has stayed constant, while energy use from oil has decreased from 27 percent to around 19 percent.

Renewable energy effectively uses natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides and geothermal heat, which are naturally replenished. Renewable energy technologies range from solar power, wind power, hydroelectricity/micro hydro, biomass and biofuels for transportation.

Russia has now started realizing the potential of renewable energy and has started developing the industry rapidly.

Aruvian's R'search presents a focus on the Renewable Energy Industry in Russia in its report – Analyzing the Renewable Energy Industry in Russia. The report is a complete analysis of the various sectors of renewable energy in Russia. Starting with an analysis of the energy issues facing Russia and the overall renewable energy industry in Russia, the report analyzes the following renewable commodities: small hydro power, biomass, wind energy, hydro energy, nuclear power, and wind energy. Russia’s environment for the development of renewable energy is also discussed in details in the report. Regulatory frameworks, government schemes promoting the use of renewable energy, etc., are all described in the report.

Major industry players promoting and developing the industry are also profiled in the Aruvian’s Analyzing the Renewable Energy Industry in Russia. Apart from the Russian Renewable Energy Industry, the report also gives a profile of the global energy industry, the global renewable energy industry, as well as Russia’s energy industry.
