At the present stage, new strategic goals of the state development have been identified in Ukraine, reaching of which has become more difficult in the conditions of low efficiency of domestic coal mining and Ukraine's support for the decarbonization mainstreamin' the energy sector of the world. Within this context, it is essential to identify general trends and develop appropriate means of state administration of the coal industry, that would provide positive industrial results for Ukraine.
The purpose of the dissertation is to substantiate the theoretical and methodological grounds of state administration of the coal industry in order to develop practical recommendations for its improvement in the context of structural transformations of the Ukrainian economy.
The object of the research is the coal industry of Ukraine.
The subject of the research is the state administration of the development of the coal industry in the conditions of structural transformations of the economy of Ukraine.
The study uses the following methods: generalization and systematization; dialectical, structural-functional; logical-semantic, comparative analysis; historical and legal, analogy, comparative analysis; content analysis; functional calculation; simulation modeling; statistical, graphic; dynamic programming.
The scientific novelty of the results obtained lies in the substantiation of theoretical and methodological principles of the development of practical recommendations for the state administration of the development of the coal industry in the conditions of structural transformations of the economy of Ukraine.
for the first time, the conceptual principles are substantiated of the development of the coal industry of Ukraine on the basis of the cluster mechanism of adaptive reorganization, which is focused on the energy-technological specialization of coal-chemical, metallurgical, and nature protection dispositions and are based on the provisioning of social dialogue between the government and public organizations, labor collectives, as well as support of non-governmental organizations;
improved:
- classification of regulatory and institutional support for the regulation of the coal industry based on the degree and nature of the impact of government decisions on the vector of its development, including general management, course-forming, specific and systemic regulatory support, and regulatory provisioning of financial support;
- methodical approach of determining the resource potential of the mining industry within the perspective state regulation of the coal industry of Ukraine, that is based on self-organization, cyclicality, and synergy, instated by the institutional mechanism of implementation of the state policy of coal industry development by means of the National Coal Company;
- model of the strategy of coal industry development, based on dynamic programming on the Bellman's optimality principle, focused on the mechanism of adaptive reorganization, interests in the field of energy security, social values substratum of state power, the influence of external related projects on alternative strategies;
Further developed:
- Theoretical and methodological principles of the coal industry functioning as an object of state regulation using Goldratt's constraints theory, that are focusing on state priorities, the definition of which creates legal, economic, and social preconditions for restructuring the coal industry within the context of decarbonization policy;
- generalization of the world experience of state administration of the coal industry, based on the principles of state regulation of the development, forms of state regulation of activities, perspective sources of funding of the development measures, and stages of reforming of the coal industry;
- tasks of the state mechanisms for the formation of conditions for technical and technological preparation of the coal industry to changes of the conjuncture of energy resources, based on trends identified, focusing on the priority of a large-scale state program of support the coal-chemistry stream;
The formation of a set of determinants of state administration of the coal industry development provides a full cycle of transformation of the economy of the coal region in accordance with the standard" from black to green".
The practical significance of the results obtained is that the scientific provisions, conclusions, and recommendations, developed and substantiated in the dissertation, could be used in the practical work of the state authorities concerning the development of the coal industry.
