As part of the energy saving programme, Rosneft Oil Company saved 372,000 tonnes of fuel equivalent worth over 5.6 billion roubles, in 2021. The volume corresponds to the production of 460,000 tonnes of oil and is comparable to the annual electricity consumption of a 300,000-strong city.

Energy and fuel resources utilisation, as well as introduction of energy-saving technologies are some of the key elements of Rosneft’s‑ 2030 Strategy. In 2021, the Company’s total energy consumption stood at some 569 million GJ. Rosneft’s subsidiaries take consistent measures to improve energy efficiency and reduce energy consumption, as well as to optimise electrical loads and heat processes.

Overall in 2021, Rosneft’s enterprises performed more than 55,000 energy-saving measures. Specifically, operating modes of process facilities were optimised, modern equipment was introduced, and energy-efficient technologies in oil production and refining were utilised.
