Resource saving and “green” technologies in the refining of petroleum products in Russia

Abstract

The issues of resource conservation affect the economy in each country all over the world and with the globalization process of society and the growth in population size, as consumers of the planet's natural resources, are paramount in the aspect of economic growth. Countries with different types of economies require “individual” economic growth, but any economic growth requires material resources, including natural resources. The issues of resource conservation and meeting the growing needs of the population are at the heart of the agenda of applying “green” technologies. Without the application of new technologies, it is impossible to preserve the available resources on Earth and meet the needs of the population of different countries of the world. One of the most important factors in the economic growth of countries is fuel and energy resources, where the world demand for them has been on an upward trend over the past few years. The study provides an overview of the latest technologies used in the extraction and processing of fuel and energy resources, the use of which largely solves the issues of resource conservation and environmental conditions.
