Amid rising prices for imported energy, Ukraine has no choice but to build energy-efficient economy in the domestic raw materials. The only energy source, which in Ukraine enough to fully meet the needs of the national economy - coal, which occupies in the structure of the reserves of fossil fuels 95%. Projected reserves of coal in Ukraine is estimated at 117.5 million tons, recoverable reserves at operating mines - 6.5 billion tons of interest in this energy-booster from the Ukraine - is understandable. But the world is growing importance of coal as an energy source. According to Energy Information Administration (EIA), today coal provides at least 26% of the world primary energy needs. In some countries, these figures are much higher: in Poland the share of coal in electricity production is 94%, in South Africa - 92%, China - 77% in the U.S. - more than 50%.
And the upward trend will continue - by 2030 the share of coal in world consumption of energy will be 28% and in electricity generation - will increase to 45%. Attention to coal as energy and show the country that have their own oil and gas reserves. The share of coal in Russian electricity production - while only 12%. The reason for the preemptive use of gas is the energy policy of the USSR 60 - 70's, when the government decided to develop a priority oil and gas industry. However, the Russian government plans to change the existing situation. In 2003, Russia's Energy Strategy adopted in 2020, which implies an increase in the share of coal in Fuel and energy balance, due to what will ensure the competitiveness of the Russian economy in terms of "market saturation alternative energy." The strategy highlighted the need for development Russian coal industry "on the basis of modern scientific and technological capabilities and technologies that meet environmental standards and environmental issue is the cornerstone that defines the development of coal industry the near future.
