The article presents the results of the authors' analytical work on the interaction between China and Russia in the energy sector. Based on the indicators reflecting Russian energy exports to China, the preservation of international trade in organic fuels in the current period of time is stated, positive dynamics is noted with respect to certain types of raw materials (coal, gas). Special attention is paid to the assessment of possible prospects in the field of energy cooperation between Russia and China in a low-carbon economy. The article presents the results of the work of the two countries achieved within the framework of ongoing measures to ensure carbon neutrality, including specific examples of commissioning of electricity production facilities based on renewable energy sources, including solar power plants, hydroelectric power stations, wind farms. The significant place of nuclear energy in the energy balance of the two countries is noted, with the participation of Russia, the construction of separate power units is carried out on the territory of China, the operation of which involves a significant reduction in emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere (mainly CO2). The official strategic documents of Russia and China adopted in the modern period of time, establishing a set of measures in the energy sector and corresponding targets, are considered. Further ways of developing energy cooperation between the countries in the context of the "green course" have been identified.
