Abstract
Currently, the problems of the development of the coal industry in Russia are becoming more acute. At the peak of the growth of production capacity and labor productivity, the volume of coal production, processing and export, priority provision of technical equipment and safety of mining operations, coal mining enterprises face new challenges, ranging from decarbonization to sanctions restrictions on investment, technological support, import and transportation of Russian coal. A simple reorientation of coal exports to the east in the claimed volumes does not seem optimal, since other products with high margin income are exported in this direction, which significantly limits the transportation of coal. This requires a reorientation of the coal industry to domestic consumption and export of goods with high added value based on deep processing of coal. The article discusses approaches to ensuring the development of coal chemistry with an emphasis on underground gasification technology, taking into account the low-carbon development of regions and the implementation of ESG criteria.
