The article considers the problems of preservation and the most economical use of existing energy sources with minimal emissions into the environment, which are urgent in modern conditions. Tightening measures to exclude or minimize the negative impact on the nature is an objective vital necessity for the survival of humanity on the planet. The search for the most environmentally friendly fuel is an important task for researchers in various fields of modern science. The measures of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) on tightening the environmental requirements at sea and the advantages of the conversion of transportation means, including ships, from black oil to liquefied natural gas are outlined. It has been stated that since 01.01.2020 IMO has put forward the requirements for the sulfur concentration in the initial fuel up to 0.5%. The sulfur content in marine fuels is illustrated, according to the current standards. Possible advantages for the Russian Federation are considered in the event that appropriate legislative acts are adopted in the field of shipbuilding and the operation of ships. The advantages of liquefied natural gas compared to other fuels are listed. The forecast values of the demand for liquefied natural gas for bunkering ships for 2020–2040 are illustrated. Research has been carried out and a formula has been derived to determine the conditions for the transition of ships to liquefied natural gas. Existing and possible in the near future projects for the generation of liquefied natural gas in the Arctic zone of Russia are considered. It is concluded that the Russian Federation has vast deposits of natural gas and scientific and technical potential for the development and revival of shipbuilding both within the country and abroad.

Mining Complex

The Murmansk region is a region with the largest enterprises of the mining complex of the Russian Federation: KF JSC “Apatit”, JSC “Kola MMC”, JSC “Olkon”, JSC” Kovdorsky GOK”, JSC” North-West Phosphorus Company”, LLC”Lovozersky GOK”. They provide the majority of the country’s demand for phosphate ores, zirconium raw materials (baddeleyite), niobium, tantalum, and rare earth metals. In addition, the mining and processing of copper-nickel, iron and chrome ores, nepheline and ceramic raw materials, facing stone and building materials is carried out. At the same time, the activities of enterprises have a very negative impact on the environment. The issues of environmental safety in the extraction and processing of minerals, storage of mining waste in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation are of particular relevance. The definition of sustainable development in relation to the mining industry is given. The concepts of available best technologies, circular economy, and “green growth” are considered from the point of view of their contribution to sustainable development. It is shown that the sustainable development of enterprises at the present stage is impossible without improving the environmental friendliness of production. The article analyzes the legislation of the Russian Federation and the practice of its application to identify mechanisms that promote sustainable development and eliminate barriers to the implementation of this concept in the mining industry. New technological solutions have been developed for mining enterprises of the Murmansk region, aimed at reducing aero-technogenic emissions, cleaning waste (mine) water, processing tailings of enrichment as man-made deposits, which allows both to minimize man-made environmental impacts and to increase the full use of mineral raw materials. Thus, the expediency of using the principles of “green growth” for the development of economic development policies in the Arctic is justified.

Сформулированы общие требования к пожарной технике и оборудованию, аварийно-спасательным средствам, предназначенным для эксплуатации в Арктической зоне Российской Федерации (АЗРФ). Рассмотрены основные факторы, связанные с использованием пожарной техники в условиях экстремально отрицательных температур и затрудняющие тушение пожаров, проведение аварийно-спасательных работ. Основным фактором является неприспособленность к работе при значениях температуры окружающей среды ниже минус 40 °С имеющейся пожарной техники или ее отсутствие. Этот фактор определяет и другие негативные факторы, снижающие эффективность пожарной техники или делающие невозможным ее применение. Указаны основные приоритеты развития системы материально-технического обеспечения сил и средств ФПС ГПС МЧС России в АЗРФ. The main directions of FPS GPS divisions development in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation (AZRF) are formulated. The paper draws attention to the problem of equipping fire and rescue units operating in the AZRF with special equipment adapted to extreme operating conditions. A number of factors have a negative impact on providing fire and rescue units with the necessary equipment. They include an insufficient number of equipment types designed specifically for operation in AZRF conditions, the lack of a regulatory framework containing the requirements to certain types of fire and rescue equipment of HL climatic performance. In addition, the authorizing departmental documents, defining the order of material and technical support of divisions of FPS GPS EMERCOM of Russia, do not consider the features of material and technical support of divisions in AZRF. There are formulated the following main development priorities for the system of material and technical support of forces and means of the FPS GPS EMERCOM of Russia in AZRF: development and implementation of innovative models of multifunctional mobile fire and rescue vehicles and equipment, improvement of the system of maintenance and repair for fire and rescue equipment and vehicles in the Arctic zone. In addition, it is necessary to build, reconstruct and equip the infrastructure objects for divisions of FPS GPS EMERCOM of Russia including the provision with modern information and communication technologies and life-support systems that allow to monitor the situation effectively and, if necessary, to warn the population.

Extremely high heat tariffs and their permanent growth in the remote regions of the Russian Federation become a considerable barrier to further development of these regions. Therefore, the limitation of the heat tariff increase in the regions is an important goal of energy policy. On the example of two districts of the Kamchatka Territory, the effectiveness of gasification of remote boiler plants with liquefied natural gas is shown as a means of restraining an excessive increase in tariffs for thermal energy. A competitive price for liquefied natural gas has been determined for remote boilers in Kamchatka, and the commercial efficiency of construction of boilers using liquefied natural gas has been evaluated.

The article is devoted to the gas export of the Russian Federation, as well as to the search for solutions to the problems arising in the process of foreign gas trading by Russian gas companies. It is specially noted that, as a serious shortcoming of gas exports from Russia, it is only one-pointedness to European countries (mainly to EU countries) and Turkey. In addition, it is pointed out that the supply of natural gas (GHG) from the Russian Federation is carried out with a few exceptions only through pipeline systems. All this puts Gazprom and a number of other Russian gas companies in greater dependence, both from direct European importers and from GHG transit countries. It will be possible to solve the problem of diversification and reliability of gas export to the far abroad of the Russian Federation only due to a certain transition to a new technological type of storage and transportation of NG – in liquefied state. In this case, Russian gas companies will be able to export LNG not only via pipelines to a limited number of countries, but also in the form of liquefied natural gas (LNG) by gas tanks to many countries of the world. This will expand the scale of gas trade to the size of oil trading operations. Russian gas companies and Gazprom, using innovative forms of trade in illegal volumes of LNG in the form of spot, futures and forward contracts, will be able to carry out more flexible trading operations and receive increased profits. At the same time, their dependence on European consumers of Russian pipeline PG and transit countries will decrease.

The current state of the problem of diselementosis in the territory of the Russian Federation is analyzed and a list of elements is identified, the lack of which in food and water has a negative impact on human health. The author substantiates the development of a technique for conditioning drinking water to achieve its physiological usefulness and prevent diselementosis among servicemen who serve in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, where snowmelt is the source of drinking water. A salt composition was selected for conditioning low-mineralized water. For this, the initial stream of low-mineralized water is divided into two approximately equal secondary waters, and those mineralizing components that form sparingly soluble compounds are introduced into different secondary streams, which are then combined in a common tank. It is shown that for all the criteria studied, conditioned water meets the requirements of chemical safety Sanitary rules and regulations 2.1.4.1074-01, and also contains essential macro- and microelements in quantities corresponding to the standards of physiological potency of drinking water according to Sanitary rules and regulations 2.1.4.1116-02. The method of conditioning drinking water when it is introduced into the practice of water supply for servicemen of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation will improve the quality of drinking water by enriching with essential macro- and microelements, increasing its physiological usefulness, which will serve as an effective measure to prevent the morbidity of servicemen due to the imbalance of nutrient elements in the body.

The article is devoted to the study of modern theoretical and legal problems of ensuring biological security in the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation. The published Draft of Federal law No. 850485-7“On biological security of the Russian Federation”provides an opportunity to take a closer look at the problem of legal provision of biological security in relation to the most vulnerable ecosystems, and, first of all, the Arctic. The article considers the most important features and potential risks of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation of critical importance from the point of view of biological hazards, the features (specificity) of biological safety problems from the point of view of organizational-legal features and, in particular, from the perspective of environmental law. It is proved that, given the special situation of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, in addition to the base Federal law“About biological safety” required a specific law on biological and ecological safety of the Arctic zone of the Russian Federation, which should be generated on a slightly different model than the draft Federal law «On biological safety”, to wear the most specific, applied nature.
