Abstract

The scientific study analyzes the possibilities for the development of the coal industry in Russia while expanding the transport links of the Northern Sea Route. The growing demand for coal and liquefied natural gas in the East Asian region is forcing many countries around the world to expand production capacity to meet growing consumption. Russia, as one of the largest exporters of coal and natural gas, can also fill demand and strengthen its position in the global energy market. The paper studies the prospects for the development of the coal industry in the northern regions of the Russian Federation, assesses the possibilities of expanding the export base of coal and associated natural gas, analyzes the possibilities of improving the logistics of transporting resources to the end consumer by sea and land transport, gas through the Northern Sea Route of Russia. The main goal of this study is to assess the economic benefits of using the potential of the Northern Sea Route in the extraction and transportation of coal and associated gas. The economic benefits presented in the work are projected not only in terms of export potential, but also an important aspect is the provision of the necessary fuel reserves of remote regions of the Russian north through the Northern Sea Route. The scientific basis of the research was Russian and foreign publications, state and corporate statistical materials, opinions and assessments of experts in the field, as well as the author’s own developments.
