Putin döneminde Rus bayrağının Avrupa ve Asya çevresinde daha fazla görünür olmasını sağlamak, Kızıl Ordu askerlerinden ziyade Rus enerji Ģirketlerinin yöneticilerine bırakılmıĢtır. GeçmiĢte ideolojik saiklerle Ģekillenen Rus dıĢ politikası pragmatik bir çizgiye kaymıĢ durumdadır. Rus dıĢ politikasında enerjinin bir kaldıraç olarak kullanılabilmesinin yolunu açan geliĢmeler, dev enerji Ģirketlerinin devletleĢtirilmesiyle baĢlamıĢtır. Yeltsin döneminde özelleĢtirilen Gazprom ve Rosneft gibi enerji devlerinin oligarklardan alınıp, bu Ģirketlerin devletleĢtirilmesi yönünde adımlar atılmıĢtır. Enerjinin, dıĢ politika yapım süreçlerinde araç olarak kullanıldığı yeni Rus dıĢ politika konseptinin en önemli aktörlerinden biri Gazprom’dur. Putin iktidarı ile birlikte Gazprom tamamen Kremlin’in politik bir aktörü olarak hareket etmeye baĢlamıĢtır. Putin döneminde Rusya’nın gücünü her alanda tahkim etme çabası ve aktif dıĢ politikasının yansımaları Balkanları da etkilemiĢtir.

  • Prospects for Green Gas Production in the Russian Federation and Its Potential Export to the European Union
    The International Gas Union Research Conference 2014 Proceedings, Copenhagen, Denmark Prospects for Green Gas Production in the Russian Federation and its Potential Export to the European Union Vladislav Karasevich, PhD, Executive Director at JSC Lores, Moscow, Russian Federation Irina Kirshina, PhD, Head of Economics Department at JSC Gazprom promgaz, Moscow, Russian Federation Alexei Zorya, PhD, Deputy Director General at JSC Gazprom promgaz, Moscow, Russian Federation Keywords: renewables, green gas, biogas, export, EU Abstract The paper discusses prospects of green gas production in Russia and its export into the European Union as a separate product alongside with natural gas. Background Recently the price growth for the energy sources and restrictions on emissions have become the main reasons for dynamic growth of the renewable energy market. Solving the energy and environmental issues is impossible without using renewables, among which one of the most perspective is biogas, which is often considered as a fuel that can partly substitute fossil fuels in mid-term. Nevertheless, waste processing is a very important factor when producing biogas since highly toxicity of the some feedstock, such as swine manure. State of affairs The EU Directive 20/20/20 gave the renewables a chance to start fast development. According to the Directive, the share of renewables in total consumed energy has to be 20%, which means that the potential green gas market in the EU is around 30-35 bln cm in 2020. Presently Europe has around 9 000 biogas stations with a total produce of 8 bln cm p.a. The biggest biogas producer is Germany, where ca.
