While the world discusses the “green transition,” industry relies on physics, not slogans. Pylyp Travkin considers coal the foundation of industrial potential – from steel to fertilizers. Without it, metallurgy, cement, chemicals, and agriculture are impossible. Coal remains not only a fuel but also a strategic raw material, ensuring technological and food security. “Industry demands stability, and coal provides it where other solutions are not yet ready,” Travkin emphasizes. Thanks to gasification, CO₂ capture, and digital control, coal is transforming from a symbol of the past into a tool for sustainable development.
