Trade partners

PartnerMaterialYearValue, US$Source
Export toChinaCopperRefine2024$2.1bn
Export toChinaCopperMine2024$1.5bn

Reconciled customs data (CEPII BACI), by value. The data holds only the largest flows of each material, so this is not the country’s full trade.

Money

What the trade data and the World Bank record in money terms. Every value is a reported figure with its own year.

All recorded trade flows of 2024 under the customs codes that isolate one of the ten materials, by value (CEPII BACI, reconciled estimates, current US dollars). Codes that mix several materials are left out, so trade in those materials is understated; gallium and germanium have no usable code at all. Each material lists its five largest partners. Why trade data blurs some materials

Exports of the ten materials

$7.4bnin 2024, with 45 partner countries

Imports of the ten materials

Government revenue from extractives

No data yet. Russian Federation has no EITI summary record with a government total. Countries report only if they implement the EITI Standard; a missing record does not mean there is no such revenue.

EITI open data

Investment pipeline

announced figures

Planned and under-construction projects in Russian Federation with a publicly announced capital cost, public financial backing, or both. Each line is one statement by the named publisher on the given date; the atlas adds nothing to it.

No data yet. The atlas has read no announcement of this kind for a project in Russian Federation. The list is short and hand-read; a missing project is missing from the list, not from the world.

A short, hand-read list, not a census: 19 projects in all. Announced amounts are not spending, a letter of interest or a conditional commitment is not a loan, and amounts stay in the currency of the announcement.

Public support instruments

Stockpiles, price floors, offtake and purchasing programmes and public funds of Russian Federation's government, as dated policy events of the type "public support". Each is one statement by its publisher.

No data yet. The atlas has read no public support instrument of Russian Federation's government. The list is short and hand-read.

Sustainability

Four indicators, the same on every profile. Each is a figure with its unit, year and source, or a plain statement that there is none.

  • Carbon

    Emissions intensity of the country's electricity grid.

    447gCO2e/kWh

    2025Reported

    Higher than 48% of the other 208 countries with a grid figure.

    • It describes the national grid, not mining or refining. Sites may run on their own power.

  • Water

    Share of the country's mine sites on record that lie in high or extremely high baseline water stress.

    8.7%of mine sites on record

    2023Estimated

    No world percentile: the number of sites on record differs too much between countries to compare them.

    • 2 of 23 sites with a class (23 mine and brine sites on record).
    • Counted by site, not by tonnage: it is not a share of production.
    • "Arid and Low Water Use" is a class of its own in the source and is not counted as high.

  • Land

    Land visibly used by mining in the country, every commodity together.

    11 771km²

    2019Estimated

    Higher than all 143 other countries with a mapped mining area.

    • Rank 1 of 144 countries by area.
    • Mapped from satellite images for all mining in a country. It cannot be attributed to one material or one site.

  • Circularity

    Recycling's share of demand.

    Not available per country: recycling rates in the atlas are published per material, for the EU as a whole.

There is no overall score: the four figures measure different things and are not added up. How to read these figures

Gaps

What the atlas is missing for Russian Federation

Computed from the data. Each line names a record that exists and one that does not. It marks missing data, not missing industry.

  • A cobalt producer (2.4% of world output; Mine production, 2025), but no site record names an owner or operator.
  • Listed as a nickel refiner (3.3% of world output; Refining (IEA), 2025), but no processing plant is on record.
  • Listed as a copper refiner (3.3% of world output; Refinery production, 2025), but no processing plant is on record.
  • Listed as a graphite producer (1.4% of world output; Mine production, 2025), but no mine is on record.
  • A graphite producer (1.4% of world output; Mine production, 2025), but no site record names an owner or operator.

  • Listed as a tungsten producer (2.3% of world output; Mine production, 2025), but no mine is on record.
  • A tungsten producer (2.3% of world output; Mine production, 2025), but no site record names an owner or operator.

  • A antimony producer (29% of world output; Mine production, 2025), but no site record names an owner or operator.
  • Trade is partial by design: the atlas holds only each material's largest flows. 12 of them name this country.

Sources

Every source this profile uses, with its licence, the years its figures describe and how sure the figures are. Each chip on the profile opens the single record.

The mining-area figure comes from a share-alike source (CC-BY-SA-4.0). It is kept in its own file under that licence, apart from the rest of the atlas's data.

History & talk

Revision history and discussion are coming soon.

Every change to a figure will be listed here with its source, its credit and its review, and each profile will have a place to discuss it. Until then the data changes only when a source is updated, and every figure links to that source.

What can be contributed today

What we don't know yet

No open source we may use gives these figures. Nothing is estimated to fill them. If you know a public source, add it.
