Abstract
The analysis of Synchro-Mining alternatives, performed by the paper, has shown the multidimensionality being typical for the ideology and even controversy stipulating complexity of its understanding both by practices and by qualified scientists. It has been substantiated that it is expedient to base the Synchro-Mining phenomenon on Mining interpretation by Merriam-Webster Dictionary version relying upon the existence primacy of a mining enterprise (i.e. a mine, quarry, open pit, well etc.): Mining exists irrespective of the mineral extraction until the enterprise is liquidated physically. Thus, Synchro-Mining is diversification of the key activity of a mining enterprise performed in parallel with Mining whether it is coal or ore preparation, generation of electric energy and thermal energy, early Post-Mining measures, commercial extraction of methane, deep treatment of mine water, progress of circular economy etc. not only in the form of vertical integration of various businesses (i.e. hierarchical production method) but also in the form of heterarchies (i.e. network capitalism) or in the form of industrial parks.
Highlights
Mining interpreted by Collins English Dictionary as well as by Mining Law of Ukraine, is extraction of minerals, inclusive of coal, from Earth’s interior
Despite the fact that production capacity of any of the 50 national economies, being great in terms of coal mining, is not more than 100 mln tons a year, namely Mining is the key means to satisfy solid fuel and furnace feed demand for coking since coal product stream through international trading floors is not above 15-17% of total production [2]
Coal import is a refuge of predominantly the countries which scaled back their national coal mining
Summary
Mining interpreted by Collins English Dictionary as well as by Mining Law of Ukraine, is extraction of minerals, inclusive of coal, from Earth’s interior. Started in 2010, the research has resulted by 2012 in the concept of strategic development of industrial regions and in the sustainable functioning of mining enterprises on the basis of their synchronous (along with mining diversification projects) implementation of following innovative techniques: chemical processing of coal; deep purification of mine water; methane extraction; underground gasification of non-commercial coal reserves, occurred in thin seams; processing of mine dumps; alternative power industry etc.
