Pollutant emissions into the atmosphere increased by 2,100 tonnes compared to 2021 as data on the
branch of JSC RIR in Ozersk were recorded for the full reporting year (the branch has been controlled by
the Company since September 2021).

Emissions of ozone-depleting substances decreased in 2022 as a result of the use of instrumental methods
for measuring dichlorodifluoromethane (Freon 12) emissions and a reduction in the equipment operating
time at JSC Chepetsk Mechanical Plant.
Initiatives to reduce harmful emissions into the air
Key measures implemented in 2022 included the following:
Air conditioning systems continued to be upgraded in the Rostov NPP branch of JSC Rosenergoatom
(Power Engineering Division). This is expected to eliminate the use of 800 kg of ozone-depleting
Freon R22 in autonomous air conditioners at power unit No. 1;
An ammonia intake, storage and supply facility (room OVK-13) was upgraded in the Kola NPP branch
of JSC Rosenergoatom (Power Engineering Division), resulting in a 50% reduction in ammonia
emissions into the atmosphere;
In JSC Afrikantov OKBM (Mechanical Engineering Division), a GOU FVG-M-6,4-Sch scrubber was
replaced with a more efficient wet gas scrubber, GM4-800-FVG-PP, in a workshop manufacturing
electrical products and galvanic coatings;
Protective casings were installed for flange joints of oil pressure lines of turbine unit No. 1 in the
Seversk branch of JSC RIR;
In JSC CDBMB (Mechanical Engineering Division), the welding area in building 251A was equipped
with three cantilever-type fume extraction systems, ensuring the pollutant removal efficiency of up to
99.5%.
Greenhouse gas emissions
Federal Law No. 296-FZ of 2 July 2021 on Limiting Greenhouse Gas Emissions establishes a regulatory
framework for greenhouse gas emission control in the Russian Federation.
In order to meet statutory requirements, a greenhouse gas emissions accounting system has been
established in the nuclear industry, and steps are being taken for its further improvement. In 2022, a
framework high-level document was updated: the Regulations on a System for Accounting for Greenhouse
Gas Emissions Generated by the Operations of ROSATOM's Organisations in the Russian Federation. A
list of organisations included in the industry-wide system for accounting for greenhouse gas emissions
from organisations located in the Russian Federation and producing direct greenhouse gas emissions was
compiled in accordance with the provisions of Federal Law No. 296-FZ of 2 July 2021. The threshold for the
76. Pollutant emissions are reported by the Company's organisations using chemical analysis methods or automatic gas analysers. Hereinafter in Section 9.2, changes in
the figures are shown for 2021 and 2022, as no statistics were kept on organisations within the scope of JSC Atomenergoprom under IFRS until 2021.

77. The data are presented taking into account the ozone depletion potential of substances under the Montreal Protocol on Substances that Deplete the Ozone Layer.
The calculations have been made for those ozone-depleting substances that are reported in Form 2-TP (Air) as specific pollutants.
