In modern conditions, an important factor in the effective functioning of the national econ-omy is the use of renewable energy sources, which leads to a reduction in CO2 emissions (decar-bonization). The proposed article attempts international comparisons of the world's leading econo-mies on the main indicators reflecting the process of decarbonization: CO2 emissions per unit of GDP PPP, per capita, carbon intensity of energy consumption, the size of the carbon footprint and biological potential per capita. A comparison of various energy sources is also made based on the above costs (LSOE). In conclusion, the article defines the place of Russia in these processes
