... industry will need modernization and increased environmental sustainability—given the global trend towards reducing carbon emissions. In the medium to long term, coal companies will face increasing challenges in the context of the "green" transition, although in the coming years, coal will remain in demand for providing base energy supply in several countries. Renewable Energy: Accelerated Growth of Capacity and Environmental Impact Renewable energy sources (RES) continue to gain traction ...

... from an economic standpoint, there is no benefit. Everything that is profitable is already working. Gazprom is already selling its excess gas to Turkey, and it is being further sold to Bulgaria, Romania, etc.,” Yushkov says. As for Ukraine, the transit of Russian gas through its territory may continue after the expiration of the transit contract with Gazprom in January. A new long-term contract is not necessary. Ukraine only needs to hold auctions for capacity reservations, as stipulated by ...

... significant role of coal – the sector must modernize and enhance its eco-friendliness, considering the global trend toward reducing carbon emissions. In the medium and long term, coal companies will increasingly face challenges from the "green" transition, although in the coming years, coal will remain in demand to ensure base energy supply in several countries. Renewable Energy: Accelerated Growth of Capacities and Environmental Impact Renewable energy sources (RES) continue to rapidly gain ...

... from the previous year. The summer heat in Western Europe is increasing the load on power grids (due to air conditioning), while the need to replenish reserves is also supporting gas demand. Furthermore, pipeline supplies from Russia remain limited: transit through Ukraine has been entirely suspended since the beginning of the year, while volumes along the "Turkish" route remain at moderate levels (~50 million m 3 per day). Comment from Sergey Tereshkin: “The European Union lacks the ...

... less attractive. However, as noted, some countries in Asia are temporarily increasing coal combustion to avoid purchasing expensive gas. As a result, global coal consumption remains at a plateau. According to the IEA, with an acceleration of the energy transition and a gradual shift in China toward gas and RES, global coal demand will begin to decline slowly starting from 2026. For now, the coal sector provides near-record levels of electricity generation worldwide, remaining a vital component of energy ...
