The Coke of Tyva Project: challenges and prospects for the development of coal mining in the Republic of Tyva

Abstract

Relevance. Since coal is one of the main minerals in demand in the Tyva Republic, the focus of the expert and scientific community is on the problems of its further involvement in the economic turnover, increasing the degree of enrichment, and creating a complex of processing enterprises, including coke-chemical ones. Object problems. The Identification of factors that promote and hinder the development of coal mining in the Republic of Tyva, determine the prospects for the development of the industry, design possible scenarios for the implementation of the coal mining development project in the future until 2035. Research results. Modern trends in the development of coal mining and the problems of coal generation are systematized and an analysis of the dynamics of coal mining in the Republic of Tyva is carried out. Conclusions. The factors hindering the development of coal mining (relative transport accessibility, low investment attractiveness, insufficient innovative activity of mining enterprises, poor development of manufacturing industries) and contributing to it (the demand for coal in the Russian and world markets, its significant competitiveness, determining ways to improve the logistics of exporting coal to perspective). Scenarios for increasing coal production in the region are substantiated: basic, innovative and intensive, and their main characteristics.
