ASSESSMENT OF THE INNOVATIVE POTENTIAL OF THE COAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRY OF INNER MONGOLIA IN THE CONTEXT OF THE CONCEPT OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Coal industry becoming difficult to achieve a reduction in carbon emissions. Therefore, the industry needs mechanisms to increase economic efficiency in conditions of sustainable development. The purpose of the article is to assess the innovative potential of the coal chemical industry in Inner Mongolia of China in terms of the impact of the concept of sustainable development. To achieve the goal, it was necessary to solve the following tasks: to study the impact of the use of «clean» development of the coal industry, to identify the features of the system of organization of sustainable development of coal chemical enterprises, to propose a model of the system of organization of coal chemical enterprises, as well as to assess the role of innovative coal chemical technologies. The study used a systematic and logical analysis of economic phenomena, the method of expert assessments, methods of comparative analysis, economic and mathematical modeling. Based on the findings, the article reveals that improving the efficiency of the coal industry is important, since coal companies have a great responsibility in this area. It is determined that the system of «clean» development of coal companies is a comprehensive system aimed at increasing adaptive abilities and ensuring sustainable development of coal companies in response to market and environmental changes. The developed model provides an opportunity to exchange with the external environment, to form a certain system boundary. By comparing the introduction of innovative carbon chemical technologies with traditional ones, it proved that the former are more competitive in terms of energy consumption and resource use. To assess quantitative indicators, the system of indices for assessing the impact of elements on the competitiveness of the coal chemical industry supplemented.
