Energy Research Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences - Activities

Activities

The Institute’s mission is to find solutions to a wide range of contemporary challenges including: efficient energy production and consumption techniques to promote energy savings; appropriate pricing mechanisms for energy markets; and legislation, tax policy and other general issues related to domestic energy policy.

ERIRAS work is divided into the following research areas:

  • the study of the regularities of energy development
  • the modeling of energy development
  • the theory and methods of energy system studies
  • the creation of a scientific basis for energy policy and the mechanisms for its implementation
  • the identification of the rational spheres and magnitudes of energy savings, and the mechanisms for energy saving policy implementation which take into consideration environmental concerns
  • the study of the priorities in energy technical policy
  • the identification of rational mechanisms for the regulation of energy development within a market framework, including primary legislation, pricing techniques, and tax and investment policy
  • the forecasting of energy markets
  • the creation of a scientific basis for the development of the oil & gas industry
  • the creation of a scientific basis for the development of the energy sectors (electricity & heat)
  • the creation of a scientific basis for the development of the coal industry

The Institute’s work is based on complex mathematical modeling, a unique database, and advanced computer technologies.

Today, ERIRAS is a major scientific center that is at the forefront of fundamental and applied research. The knowledge produced by ERIRAS provides the basis for energy development forecasting and policy in Russia, the CIS, and for international energy markets.

Famous quotes containing the word activities:

    “Minds do not act together in public; they simply stick together; and when their private activities are resumed, they fly apart again.”
    —Frank Moore Colby (1865–1925)

    “Juggling produces both practical and psychological benefits.... A woman’s involvement in one role can enhance her functioning in another. Being a wife can make it easier to work outside the home. Being a mother can facilitate the activities and foster the skills of the efficient wife or of the effective worker. And employment outside the home can contribute in substantial, practical ways to how one works within the home, as a spouse and as a parent.”
    —Faye J. Crosby (20th century)

    “The interpretation of dreams is the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind.”
    —Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
