Decarbonization as a Priority for Sustainable Development of Energy Industry Enterprises

Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the features of the functioning of domestic enterprises in the process of decarbonization of the energy industry. The study identified key areas for ensuring the sustainable development of domestic enterprises in the context of the implementation of the provisions of international agreements. The expediency of a qualitative transition to ecological raw materials to ensure inclusive development and compliance with the principles of corporate social responsibility by all domestic enterprises of the energy industry, and especially those that pose the greatest threat to the environment - thermal power plants, was emphasized. The characteristics of an innovative technology for reducing carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere by its accumulation from a generation source with its subsequent storage and useful use are presented. It has been proven that the introduction of innovative production and management practices will allow initiating a gradual transition of the domestic economy from industrial to circular, as well as ensuring the construction of energy companies of the future with long-term competitive advantages based on the principles of energy independence and energy efficiency, progressive decarbonization and sustainable development. Emphasis is placed on the decisive importance of the innovative direction of development of the economy as a whole and the business processes of modern enterprises in the energy industry to increase their competitive advantages.
