By 2025 coal enterprises have to reach the annual output of 560 million tons, up from the forecast volume of 460 million tons.
According to the minister of energy Alexander Novak, this goal could be reached with some 1 trillion rubles of private investments.
The Ministry of Energy believes that due to this Russia will be able to considerably increase coal exports.
The share of the Russian power-generating coal on the European market is 40%, and in Asia – 9.3%. With the increase of output the share on the Asian-Pacific region will grow to 20%. (Ukrainian metal)
