Annotation: The article prioritizes low-carbon development measures for the Russian Federation through industrial moderni- zation and energy efficiency improvements. The sectoral structure of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions is examined using the National Inventory Report. Using a comparative analysis of technologies, the dominant emission sources requiring priority action were identified. Measures for reducing emissions from enterprises are systematized, including the utilization of secondary energy resources, improved equipment efficiency, carbon dioxide capture, and the reduction of leaks in systems. Implementation constraints related to carbon dioxide handling infrastructure, the capital intensity of projects, and the requirements for measurability and verification of results are highlighted. Feasibility conditions are formulated and logic for selecting measures by emission sources is proposed. It has been noted that the use of carbon capture technologies is economically less preferable in some cases than reducing emissions by improving energy efficiency and replacing used energy resources. The conclusion is that proactive development of energy infrastructure is necessary to prevent an increase in emissions.
