Abstract. The proposed  comparative assessment of energy generating technologies is executed according to a methodology of an assessment of technologies of nature management of full environmental resource intensity. The methodology is based on the application of the first developed integrated indicator of environmental impact. It is proved that reduction to this integrated indicator of all indicators of quality of environmental components according to the degree of their damage with taking into account the cost expenses provide almost complete restoration of natural components. The assessment of nature management technologies is carried out, which is based on the use of the methodology of full environmental resource intensity. The proposed methodology makes it possible to track changes in the consumption, damage and removal of natural resources. The problem of technology assessment and ways to solve it are considered. The scheme of calculation of the integrated indicator of ecological impact is developed. Indicator influence on the components of the environment is determined. The coefficients of reduction to the critical indicator according to the degree of damage of the natural component (earth, water, atmospheric air) are derived. The formulas of reduction to critical indicators for the components of the environment are derived. The system-forming component of the natural-technogenic system is determined. The calculation of the coefficients for reducing the indicators of the state of the environmental components to a single integral value is made. It is proved that the integrated indicator of environmental impact is a characteristic indicator, which in a single value form reproduces the man-made impacts on all natural components allowing to achieve significant efficiency in making optimal management decisions. The methodology for assessing environmental technologies was tested at major energy generating enterprises, which referred to the main environmentally cost-intensive areas of economy. A comparative assessment of energy generating technologies was performed on the example of hydroelectric power plant and thermal power plant (based on the indicators of Burshtyn thermal power plant and Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant). It is proved by calculation that the indicator of integrated ecological impact of a thermal power plant is technologically 32.3 times better than the indicator of integrated ecological impact of a hydroelectric power plant.
Keywords: іntegral ecological resources, energy-generating technologies, ecologically costly technologies of nature management.
