This paper discusses and elicits consumer attitudes towards industrial carbon dioxide (CO2) capture and storage (ICCS) products and technologies. It presents a comprehensive review of the relevant research literature on consumer attitudes towards ICCS represented by the willingness-to-pay (WTP) and willingness-to-accept (WTA) negative externalities and outcomes of the carbon capture and storage (the so-called “not-in-my-backyard” (NIMBY) approach). In addition, it employs a concise empirical model that uses the data from the online questionnaire survey conducted in 7 European Union (EU) countries with and without ICSS sites. Our results demonstrate that having at least one ICCS site significantly reduces the WTA for the ICCS products and technologies. It is shown that further increase of ICCS sites, including those in the neighboring regions and countries, leads to the increase of negative consumer attitudes to the ICCS technologies and renewable energy policies. It becomes apparent that the majority of consumers are willing to support industrial CO2 capture and storage only if it happens far away from their dwellings. The outcomes of this paper might be informative for the EU local industries and policy-makers who are planning the location of ICCS sites and optimizing the public support for their endeavors. Moreover, they might be relevant for the stakeholders dealing with the threat of climate change and the necessity for the decarbonization of the economy.
The article deals with the company's transition to management based on a process approach. This approach is the basis for the introduction of lean-production, which has been especially popular in recent years in Russia. Company executives do not always understand how to start changes. The authors have developed diagnostic matrices in three areas: Management Processes, Organizational Culture, and Organizational Systems. Using an expert assessment of the proposed criteria, the manager can understand the current level of company development and identify problems in each area. Developed diagnostic matrices consider the analysis of processes in the dynamics of transformation of company policy from reactive to proactive.
The article deals with the problematic issues of creating a single monetary policy and a single electronic monetary sign on the territory of the countries of the Eurasian economic Union. The problems that complicate the transition to a single currency, including differences in macroeconomic indicators characterizing the economic development of the EAEU member States, are shown. The proposed currency integration should become an integral part of the common currency policy of the member States of currency integration, as well as in the functioning and interaction of interstate organizations engaged in interstate currency regulation Currency and, which will be an objective assessment for the formation of index systems using different single currencies is justified. In this economic situation, the Russian financial market is unstable and vulnerable, as is the Russian ruble. Therefore, we need a very careful approach to the creation of a single currency, to the development of the financial market, to the functioning of a single emission center, to a single coordinated financial policy to approach comprehensively, carefully and with a high degree of responsibility. Undoubtedly, in the territory of the EAEU, there is a need to form a unified, independent monetary policy and tighten cross-border capital flows. It is necessary to issue a single currency in the EAEU. But this decision requires a serious approach, legislation and technical resources. At the moment, the EAEU has not created conditions for monetary and financial integration, there are problems in the economic integration of the participating countries, different levels of development of their economies, instability of national currencies. The EAEU member States need a common strategy for the development of integration, a lending model, an economic development plan for the alignment of national economies, as well as a plan for coordination of activities in the monetary sphere. The article shows issues of the introduction of the single currency and its impact on the prospects of development of the agro-industrial complex of the EAEU countries are considered.
