Abstract.

The Ukrainian internal market experiences commodity anthracite shortage in amount of 19÷20 million tons. In 2017, share of the state sector in the coal industry was only 4.4 million tons of totally produced coal. Annual expenditures for the coal import are UAH 64 billion.

As an alternative is a proposal to restore industrial potential of the Ukrainian state mines through their modernizations on the basis of innovations, loan investments and leasing. In this context, one of the important documents is the New Economic Strategy of Ukraine (NES) “Safety, Energy-Effectiveness, Competitiveness” for the period till 2035. Realization of its regulations will increase productivity of operating mines, reduce prime costs of production and expenditures for the coal import, make it possible to obtain methane from the coal deposits, multiply economic potential and provide energy independence of Ukraine. Restoration of mines requires great financial resources – about USD 1.0-1.5 billion. This sum can be decreased by 20÷30 % at the expense of scientific and innovative potential of academician, industrial and educational institutes of Ukraine. Rapid development of Ukrainian state coal mines will ensure annual increase of welfare of the country by USD 3 billion.

As an example is the D.F. Melnikov Mine – a typical coal enterprise: here, development of mining works (putting into operation of two additional longwalls) will ensure triple increase of production (up to 900 thousand tones/year) and reduce prime costs of coal from UAH 1900/ton to UAH 1000/ton. Total increase of production in all mines till 2035 will allow to fully give up the coal import by covering its share by own production in amount 21.5 million tons/year. In the article, calculation of the needed investments and time period for their recoupment is presented.

Keywords:

 industrial potential of mines, prime cost of production, rapid development of the coal mining, import of coal, investments, recoupment.
