field measurements<\/a>. It turned out that during the mining and processing of kimberlite, about 1 million tons of CO\u2082 equivalent are neutralized annually. This is comparable to the work of a huge forest area of \u200b\u200b400 thousand hectares.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\nThese discoveries have revolutionized ideas about the environmental friendliness of diamond mining. In 2024, ALROSA received international confirmation: the company\u2019s carbon footprint was -0.71 kg CO\u2082 per carat. In fact, the production of natural diamonds has become a carbon-negative process.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
New data changes the rules of the game in the global diamond market. Buyers can now choose not just beautiful, but also environmentally responsible jewelry. ALROSA’s research opens up prospects for sustainable development of the entire industry.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n
