  • Experimental Study of Municipal Solid Waste (Msw) Landfills and Non- Authorized Waste Damps Impact on the Environment
    Linnaeus ECO-TECH ´10 Kalmar, Sweden, November 22-24, 2010 EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE (MSW) LANDFILLS AND NON- AUTHORIZED WASTE DAMPS IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT Veronica Tarbaeva Dmitry Delarov Committee on Natural Resources of Leningrad region, Russia ABSTRACT A purpose was an analysis of waste disposal sites existing in the Leningrad region and a choice of facilities potentially suitable for the removal and utilization of greenhouse- and other gases. In order to achieve the purpose in view, data were collected on the arrangement of non-authorized landfills and waste dumps within the Leningrad region. The preliminary visual evaluation and instrumental monitoring were carried out for 10 facilities. The evaluation of greenhouse- and other gas emissions into the atmosphere as well as of ground water pollution near places of waste disposal was performed. A databank was created for waste disposal sites where it could be possible to organize the work on removing and utilizing of greenhouse gas. The conducted examination stated that landfills exert negative influence on the environment in the form of emissions into the atmosphere and impurities penetrating underground and surface water. A volume of greenhouse gas emissions calculated in units of СО2 – equivalent from different projects fluctuates from 63.8 to 8091.4 t in units of СО2 – equivalent. Maximum summarized emissions of greenhouse gases in units of СО2 – equivalent were stated for MSW landfills of the towns of Kirishi, Novaya Ladoga and Slantsy, as well as for MSW landfills near Lepsari residential settlement and the town of Vyborg. KEYWORDS Non-authorized waste dumps, MSW landfills, greenhouse gases, atmospheric air pollution, instrumental monitoring.

  • Veps Language Heritage in Karelia1
    NINA ZAICEVA Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences Veps language heritage in Karelia1 1. Introduction Veps people live in Russia on the border of the Republic of Karelia, in Leningrad region and Vologda region. Based on the most recent Russian population census in 2010 (Vserossijskaja perepis nasele­ nija 2010), 5 936 people consider themselves Veps, of which 3 423 live in Karelia, 1 380 live in Leningrad region, and 412 live in Vo­ logda region. The decline in the Veps population and Veps language skills has been an urgent matter for researchers, society, and state authorities. In 2000, a Russian Federation government decree listed the Veps people in the Russian Federation Joint List of Indigenous Minorities as a community under special state protection (see Stro­ galschikova 2014: 237, 245). The Veps language also was included in the Russian Federation Red List of Languages (Krasnaja kniga 1994: 21–22). These efforts were intended to stimulate Veps lan­ guage revitalization and cultural preservation as well as restoring active bilingualism in areas where Veps language teaching in schools would be helpful. In the Republic of Karelia, several books in Veps have been published: textbooks for schools and universities, phrase books, bilingual dictionaries, and spelling dictionaries (see Zaiceva 2006: 119–135). The Veps media consist of the newspaper Kodima, the magazine Kipinä for children (in Veps, Kibin), and weekly TV and radio programs. 1.

  • Russian Federation Wood Pellet Production Update
    THIS REPORT CONTAINS ASSESSMENTS OF COMMODITY AND TRADE ISSUES MADE BY USDA STAFF AND NOT NECESSARILY STATEMENTS OF OFFICIAL U.S. GOVERNMENT POLICY Voluntary - Public Date: 6/21/2018 GAIN Report Number: RS1817 Russian Federation Post: Moscow Wood Pellet Production Update Report Categories: Wood Products Biofuels Approved By: Deanna Ayala Prepared By: FAS Staff Report Highlights: The development of the biofuels sector remains a low priority for the Russian government whose agricultural programs are largely focused on “import substitution” and export support programs. Russia’s wood pellets sector is the primary bio-based energy product and remains a significant global player. Post estimates production of wood pellets in Russia in CY 2017 at 1.75 MMT, an increase of 32 percent over production in CY 2016. Such a significant increase is attributed to continued strong demand from the European Union and new markets in Asia, such as Japan and China. In addition, government initiatives to subsidize exports of wood pellets and the launch of new production operations in Russia raised production. The Russian Customs Service reports exports of wood pellets from Russia in CY2017 at 1.44 MMT, or more than 34 percent higher than in CY2016. Post forecasts exports of wood pellets to increase but at a moderate pace of four percent to reach 1.5 MMT in CY2018. General Information: Update on Biofuels Industry Different sources estimate that renewable energies, including biofuels, represent 1.2 percent of Russia’s total energy production, with biomass production accounting for only 0.5 percent of total production. While there are no official statistics that measure total energy production attributable to biofuels, it is estimated that biofuels account for five percent of Russia’s heating energy and one percent of its electrical power.

  • The Wood Pellet Business in Russia with the Role of North-West Russian Regions: Present Trends and Future Challenges
    The wood pellet business in Russia with the role of North-West Russian regions: present trends and future challenges Svetlana Proskurina a,*, Jussi Heinimö b, Mirja Mikkilä a & Esa Vakkilainen a a Lappeenranta University of Technology, Skinnarilankatu 34, 53850 Lappeenranta, Finland b Innovation and Technology Center Miktech Oy, Sammonkatu 12, 50130 Mikkeli, Finland * Corresponding author. Tel.: +358 466 322 953. E-mail addresses: [email protected], [email protected] (S. Proskurina). Postal address: Finland, 53850 Lappeenranta, Skinnarilankatu 34. ABSTRACT The Russian wood pellet business has expanded rapidly in the last decade. The first Russian pellet production plant was built in 2003 and within ten years, Russia has become an important exporter of pellets, mainly to the Nordic and Baltic area. The aim of this paper is to present an overview of the current status of the Russian pellet market with particular emphasis on pellet exports. In addition to reviewing the state of the pellet market in Russia, the paper addresses challenges facing the Russian wood pellet business, both domestically and in key export markets. The paper is based on a review of published scientific literature, trade magazines, the latest Russian official documents and reports, as well as interviews with experts and the materials of IEA Bioenergy Task 40. Attempts have been made to reconcile the varying and conflicting data given in different Russian documentation sources, thus permitting a more accurate representation of the Russian pellet business, an important player in the global pellet trade. Despite its importance, there is limited work available on the Russian pellet industry and this paper thus contributes to greater understanding of the Russian pellet business.

  • Trends in Population Change and the Sustainable Socio-Economic Development of Cities in North-West Russia
    THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE BALTIC REGION TRENDS IN POPULATION CHANGE AND THE SUSTAINABLE SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF CITIES IN NORTH-WEST RUSSIA A. A. Anokhin K. D. Shelest M. A. Tikhonova Saint Petersburg State University Received 21 November 2018 7—9 Universitetskaya emb., Saint Petersburg, Russia, 199034 doi: 10.5922/2079-8555-2019-4-3 © Anokhin A. A., Shelest K. D., Tikhonova M. A., 2019 The Northwestern Federal District is a Russian macro-region that is a unique example of a model region. It accounts for 10 % of the country’s total area and 9.5 % of its population. This article aims to trace the patterns of city distribution across the region, to assess the conditions of differently populated cities and towns, and to identify sustainability trends in their socio-economic development. Population change is a reliable indicator of the competitiveness of a city. As a rule, a growing city performs well economically and has a favourable investment climate and high-paid jobs. The analysis revealed that population change occurred at different rates across the federal district in 2002—2017. A result of uneven socio-economic development, this irregularity became more serious as globalisation and open market advanced. The study links the causes and features of growth-related differences to the administrative status, location, and economic specialisation of northwestern cities. The migration behaviour of the population and the geoeconomic position are shown to be the main indicators of the sustainable development of a city. Keywords: cities, urban population, Northwestern Federal District, city classification, population, city sustainability Introduction When studying the urban population distribution and its dynamics over the past decades, it is necessary to take into account the territorial heterogeneity of To cite this article: Anokhin, A.
