The coal industry has been through many crises, but those enterprises that did not curtail their production and kept their technology and staff then recovered, said Kemerovo Region Governor Sergey Tsivilev in an interview with the President of the Global Energy Association Sergey Brilev. According to him, despite a 10-12% decline in coal production this year, the region continues to grow. Coal shipments to the east are gaining momentum, and new markets in southern Europe are opening up.
The Global Energy Association (registered in Moscow and responsible for the international prize of the same name) has created a new award specifically for Russian academics – to be presented for their contributions to the development of energy in the country: The Honorary Diploma of the Association.
