Abstract Learning to control fire changed the life of man considerably. Learning to convert the energy derived from combustion of coal or hydrocarbons into another type of energy, such as steam pressure or electricity, has put him on the path of scientific and technological revolution, stimulating dynamic development. Since the dawn of time, fossil fuels have been serving as the mankind’s natural reservoir of energy in an increasingly great capacity. A completely incomprehensible refusal to use fossil fuels causes some local populations, who do not possess a comprehensive knowledge of the subject, to protest and even generate social conflicts as an expression of their dislike for the extraction of minerals. Our times are marked by the search for more efficient ways of utilizing fossil fuels by introducing non-conventional technologies of exploiting conventional energy sources. During apartheid, South Africa demonstrated that cheap coal can easily satisfy total demand for liquid and gaseous fuels. In consideration of current high prices of hydrocarbon media (oil and gas), gasification or liquefaction of coal seems to be the innovative technology convergent with contemporary expectations of both energy producers as well as environmentalists. Known mainly from literature reports, underground coal gasification technologies can be brought down to two basic methods: - shaftless method - drilling, in which the gasified seam is uncovered using boreholes drilled from the surface, - shaft method, in which the existing infrastructure of underground mines is used to uncover the seams. This paper presents a hybrid shaft-drilling approach to the acquisition of primary energy carriers (methane and syngas) from coal seams located at great depths. A major advantage of this method is the fact that the use of conventional coal mining technology requires the seams located at great depths to be placed on the off-balance sheet, while the hybrid method of underground gasification enables them to become a source of additional energy for the economy. It should be noted, however, that the shaft-drilling method cannot be considered as an alternative to conventional methods of coal extraction, but rather as a complementary and cheaper way of utilizing resources located almost beyond the technical capabilities of conventional extraction methods due to the associated natural hazards and high costs of combating them. This article presents a completely different approach to the issue of underground coal gasification. Repurposing of the already fully depreciated mining infrastructure for the gasification process may result in a large value added of synthesis gas production and very positive economic effect.

The article considers the stage process of a machine-building enterprise modernization management, the enterprise being a part of an integrated corporate structure, in response to the demand for an economic and technological breakthrough. The topicality of the study is determined by the problems of technical and process design renewal of the Russian industry, the lack of investment support of modernization programs in the production sector, and the development of new forms of public demand typical for the innovative economy. The authors have substantiated the role of economic integration processes in the development and modernization of machine-building enterprises based on the synergetic paradigm. The paper identifies and characterizes the stages of modernization management processes taking into account the mission and strategic goals of the enterprise development. The research has covered theoretical and methodological works of domestic and foreign scientists on the problems of economic integration and best practices of creating big integrated corporate structures. Modernization is considered as a set of measures aimed at improving the production and economic activities of enterprises participating in integrated corporate structures in order to ensure sustainable economic efficiency. Moreover, the paper identifies the factors preventing the sustainable development of domestic machine-building industry. A number of problems facing machine-building enterprises during the crisis period can be successfully overcome by them within the frame of integrated corporate structures which are entrusted with a leading role in the development and modernization of the machine-building complex. Among other things, the formation of such structures is aimed at the innovative development and creation of various types of knowledge-intensive industries with greater value added. The paper presents the mechanism for managing the modernization of enterprises within the frame of integrated corporate structures. Priority areas of investments in the implementation of modernization projects are proposed to be determined not only on the basis of the expected economic effect, but also taking into account the potential of the entities under modernization. The approach proposed by the author for managing the modernization of the enterprise within the frame of integrated corporate structures can be used both at the enterprises of the machine-building industry and the industrial complex as a whole in the context of improving the efficiency of the management system. The practical implementation of modernization measures will enhance the competitiveness of enterprises, increase their investment attractiveness and switch them to a higher level of economic sustainability with a focus on achieving the maximum impact in all spheres of activity.

Introduction. Energy efficiency is an important component of the Europe 2020 strategy and a consequence of one of the goals for the efficient use of natural resources. Energy efficiency is an interdisciplinary concept. It combines technology and innovation, agriculture, environmental protection, economics and legislation. It affects technological and economic changes, behaviour changes, and reflects energy consumption trends. Methods. The method of comparison is used in the work – to detect differences between objects of energy service; generalization – to define the general concept and understanding of the principles of functioning of subjects of the energy service market, abstraction – to identify patterns of development of markets in Europe and Ukraine. Results. The basic prerequisites for the development of the energy service market have been formed, and barriers to the implementation of energy efficiency measures at enterprises have been identified. An algorithm of the decision-making process is proposed, which should be based on determining the places of energy losses, the modernization of which would bring a measurable benefit. The considered measures of improvement of energy efficiency will allow to achieve the maximum economic and ecological effect of functioning of the economic complex of the state. Discussion. At the beginning of 2008, a large part of the draft CEN standards have been transmitted to the national standardization institutes of the EU Member States for final approval, and the draft standards, which were approved by the national standardization institutes, were adopted as European standards, which Ukraine is also aiming for, different levels of readiness, this process needs further research. Keywords: European standards, energy efficiency, energy service market, subjects of energy service market.

The article discusses the features of energy service contracts as one of the types of state-business interaction in the form of a public-private partnership. The purpose of the article is to analyze the main problems accompanying the implementation of energy service contracts on the basis of a case analysis and to develop recommendations for those who are at the stage of concluding such agreements. The following causes of problems between the parties to the energy service contracts are highlighted: methodological, organizational and financial. The following recommendations are developed based on the experience of participation in forensic examinations: 1) careful study of the methodology for calculating savings using energy audit; 2) the method of calculating the economic effect should be an integral part of the energy service contract; 3) careful management of documents in order to be able to begin to resolve the conflict in the pretrial order according to the Civil Code; 4) the contractor must make sure that there are economic benefits based on detailed calculations of indicators such as payback period, net present value of the project, internal rate of return, which it is mandatory to compare with the cost of financial resources used in the project.

This paper describes the development of a system dynamics model for exploring and learning about the dynamics of an energy service company (ESCO) which business is based on energy performance contracting (EPC). The simulation of that model provides a helpful basis for analysing and explaining the development of key variables, and for accelerating learning on the managerial processes that are critical for the success of the venture. The simulation of the modelled firm produces an overall insignificant market value added mainly due to long sales cycles, indicating a low probability of success. The model is sensitive to changes in the word-of-mouth contact rate parameter which suggests that effective management interventions should consider initiatives that accelerate word-of-mouth among EPC adopters and prospects.

This article provides insights into consumer behavior, and the results have important implications for designers, managers, marketers, and system providers of 3G value-added services to explore a conceptual model for analyzing customers’ perceptions of using 3G value-added services. An empirical investigation was carried out to test the hypotheses. The samples include 826 professional participants. Structural equation modeling (SEM) is used to test the relationships of the model. After reviewing the previous research papers, a conceptual model of customer adoption is developed and nine important factors are proposed, namely, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, perceived security, perceived price, use experience, perceived enjoyment, need for uniqueness, social influence, context and compatibility. Then a big sample of questionnaire investigation in Chinese 3G value-added service market is conducted. The empirical findings are as follows: (a) security and social influence are two of the most important factors in 3G market; (b) 3G value-added services must be enjoyable and useful; (c) using context should be friendly and compatible. The results not only help to develop a sophisticated understanding of 3G adoption theories for researchers but also offer useful knowledge to those involved in promoting 3G value-added services to potential purchasers.

When South Korea develops a new city, the government has made a preliminary decision on one of two heating systems, an individual heating system (IHS) or a district heating system (DHS). However, it is still unclear which system is desirable in terms of maximizing the national economic effect. Thus, this article aims to derive quantitative information about the economic effects of the same amount of production or investment in the two systems through an input-output (IO) analysis using the recently published 2017 IO table. More specifically, the production-inducing effects, value-added creation effects, and wage-inducing effects are systematically analyzed focusing on the IHS and DHS sectors. The results show that one dollar of production or investment in IHS or DHS causes about 1.073 and 1.388 dollars of production, about 0.228 and 0.658 dollars of value-added, and about 0.051 and 0.108 dollars in wages, respectively, throughout the national economy. Overall, the economic effects of the DHS sector are greater than those of the IHS sector. That is, when the same amount of investment or production is made in the two sectors, DHS produces more economic effects than IHS.
