Exchangization of the Fuel and Energy Sector – New Challenges – New Indicators
There is a need for as many market participants as possible to be involved in this process, and this includes public administration bodies, both at the federal, regional, and municipal level, as well as companies with state participation, so it is probably time to include an appropriate provision in public procurement legislation that would oblige purchasing on the exchange and not only on existing electronic platforms. <...> There is a problem of encouraging different participants in the same product, market participants, to sell as much of it as possible on the exchange. At the same time, I think it would be advisable to continue the current practice of establishing minimum volumes of goods in exchange trading by dominant suppliers, for example, gas, and their gradual, possibly annual, increase, as we see it now, together with the antimonopoly service, with the exchange, as it happens in the oil products market

Our coal is higher in energy terms. <...> Our Chinese colleagues are happy to buy our coal

The Future of Coal in a World Shaped by the Climate Agenda: The End, or a New Beginning?
Clearly, as labour productivity technology in the coal industry improves, so the number of people working in the sector will decrease. Today, even in Kuzbass, not to mention other regions, we are seeing how digitalization is taking over, and how BelAZ is rolling out autonomous trucks at surface mines. So, the number of workers will decline. This is not a bad thing, because it means that working conditions will improve – as will workplace safety – and people will suffer less as a result

The Future of Coal in a World Shaped by the Climate Agenda: The End, or a New Beginning?
Take Sakhalin – our country is vast – where, for example, the only major coal company [The East mining Company – ed.] produces brown coal which is almost all exported. It all gets bought up by Japan. And what isn’t sold there gets sold in China. And nobody is about to give up on that
