Improving the efficiency and environmental friendliness of energy systems

The paper examines approaches to improving the efficiency of modern energy systems from the standpoint of ensuring the rational use of natural resources. The current issues of sustainable development in the energy sector are considered. Global trends are analyzed and the main directions for reducing the resource intensity of advanced energy production technologies are formulated. The significance of sustainable development factors in the energy sector that can make the energy system more attractive is determined. For this purpose, a number of innovative solutions are proposed, developed on the basis of research and analysis of real enterprises of the energy complex of Siberia. They can provide a solution not only to environmental problems of the region, but also to link all resource flows into a single complex. Such a solution is of interest not only to the heads of enterprises of the energy complex, but also to enterprises of other industries. This can also affect the solution of many social problems, the economy of the region, public health, and increase the investment attractiveness of enterprises of the energy complex.
