Russia
has approved a project by TNK-BP Holding (TNBP.RS) to sell emissions reduction units, or ERUs, on the international market, the Anglo-Russian oil major said Wednesday.
The project, which will be implemented under the Kyoto Protocol, will seek to
utilize associated gas from TNK-BP's Samotlor oil field. TNK-BP has been
granted the right to sell ERUs equivalent to 846,000 tons of carbon dioxide.
Russia
has a
huge surplus of emission permits under the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, but has been
slow to approve what are known as joint implementation projects. Under the
Kyoto Protocol, a country struggling to meet its emissions target can buy
credits from another country that has surpassed its target.
Last month,
Russia
gave
long-awaited approvals to 15 clean energy projects to earn carbon credits under
the Kyoto Protocol.
