2019 – 2020 Further improvement of MRV in Russian Federation
Potential problems of MRV implementation in Russia (1)
1. Lack of practical examples (templates, guidances) for GHG monitoring and
reporting in different economic sectors;
2. Unavailability of national emission factors for specific fuels, raw materials, products,
and indirect energy emissions;
3. Absence of decisions on key issues of MRV implementation:
- Criteria and procedures for identification of the reporting organizations;
- Corporate / plant specific reporting;
- Accounting of GHG / pollutants emissions;
- Regional / centralized approach for reporting data collection;
- Verification by the authorized body / accredited bodies;
- Responsibility of organizations;
- Compensation mechanisms of unreasonable costs.

4. Absence of the authorized body for the collection, verification and registration of
GHG emissions reports provided by organizations;
5. Lack of regulations obliging organizations to carry out GHG monitoring and
reporting and establishing verification procedures;
6. Lack of information and analytical systems for collection, processing and recording
data on GHG emissions and efficient interaction between the participants of MRV;
7. Absence of mechanisms to ensure consistency and comparability of data on GHG
emissions between the organizations, regions of the Russian Federation and the
national inventory;
8. Insufficient awareness of organizations about MRV implementation in the Russian
Federation and their responsibilities of GHG monitoring and reporting.
