To the Concept of Restructuring Coal Production of Donbass

Abstract

The article contains a rationale for the economic and environmental feasibility of extracting useful components from low-grade coal-containing raw materials, which can increase the recoverable value of coal due to the added value of commercial products from coal waste to a level of profitability, improves the environmental situation and repeatedly increases the resource base of enterprises. It is shown that the Donbass mines restructuring program has damaged the Russian economy and weakened the competitiveness of Russian coal production on the world market for many years, since the coal reserves written off are many times more valuable than the values determined by the Program.
