Abstract
Decarbonizing Russian economy requires conceptual scientific justification and a modern system of indicative planning for achieving the strategic goal of carbon neutrality by 2060. Russian regions, except the Sakhalin Oblast, have not yet been involved in the compliance carbon market, and such a wait-and-see attitudes towards climatic agenda require more intense activities on behalf of regional authorities and businesses. The purpose of this article is to present the concept of product life cycle analysis taking into account greenhouse gas emissions and apply this methodology for assessing carbon intensity in the economic sectors of the Novosibirsk Oblast: energy, manufacturing, agriculture and municipal solid waste management. The collected empirical material and research results might be helpful for building the knowledge database for product life cycle analysis and consumption-based greenhouse gas emission accounting within the framework of indicative planning of decarbonization processes in region.
