Yamal Case Study
Process
-
-
Economic
Transport infrastructure is poorly developed -> developments in railways and aviation networks will be required
Environmental
-
-
the melting of the permafrost is causing the tundra's freshwater lakes to drain leading to a decline in fish supplies
-
Power
Yamal holds Russia's (and the world's) largest natural gas reserves -> estimate of gas reserves is 55 trillion cubic metres
-
Russian corporation Gazprom is developing the region's huge oil and gas reserves known as Yamal Megaproject
no developments should take place on the Nenet's land without their consent (Nenets: a nomadic tribe that herds raindeers
Scale
-
Yamal has over 16tcm on proven gas reserves and a further 22tcm of expected reserves -> over 2,500 of pipelines will be built to transport the gas
Possibility
Environment
-
Con
As the permafrost thaws methane and carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere = destroys ozone layer and contributes to greenhouse gases
-
Place
Yamal Peninsula extends from Northern Siberia to the Kara Sea (is a remote, wind-blasted region underlain by permafrost)
