Assessing the Compliance of Gasification Products with the Strategic Objectives of the Achievement of Circular Economy

Abstract

The article is devoted to the substantiation of the choice and assessment of the feasibility of using non-traditional fuel and energy materials in the context of ensuring the development of a circular economy. The objective prerequisites, goals and initiatives for the development of the circular economy are considered. International agreements and plans define the achievement of climate neutrality, increase in resource efficiency and economic growth as strategic goals for the development of the circular economy, which are used in the article as criteria for assessing the compliance of gasification products with the requirements of the circular economy. A methodical approach to the selection of gasification products that meet the specified criteria has been proposed. Methods of measurement (calculation) of the impact of the product on the environment and resource efficiency of its production are substantiated. A selection of gasification products that meet the strategic requirements of the circular economy is carried out using the matrix method and a weighted assessment of a set of indicators. The main economic and еcological effects are determined, which are due to the development of gasification of solid fuel raw materials and need to be reflected in the practical substantiations of investment projects.
