The article provides an overview and analysis of the state of the problem of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in Russia, considers the measures developed at the level of the country and individual corporations that issue GHG to combat climate change. Particular attention is paid to methods of carbon dioxide (CO2) compensation, including taking into account the absorbing capacity of forests. The experience of the largest Russian oil company "Tatneft" is described in the implementation of a project for the breeding and scaling of triploid aspen with an increased absorptive capacity for planting seedlings in forests in order to reduce and compensate for the carbon footprint.
