Preface

The International conference “Advanced technologies in the fuel and energy complex” was held at the State University of Management (Moscow, Russia) on 16-17 May 2019. During the conference, representatives of fuel and energy companies, the scientific community,government agencies, as well as teachers, graduate students and students discussed issues of furtherdevelopment of the fuel and energy complex. Within the framework of the conference, the following problems were considered: • Technologies of production and transmission of fuel and energy resources; • Technological, innovative and digital modernization of fuel and energy complex facilities; • Prospects for the introduction of advanced technologies in the industry; • Organization of production. The program committee summed up the conference and prepared a resolution of the conference, which made the following conclusions about the state of the fuel and energy complex and recommendations for its development: • Lack of necessary technologies, which are an integral process of stimulating the development of the fuel and energy complex; • Decrease in the efficiency of industrial production due to obsolescence and depreciation ofequipment; • The need for modernization of power plants; • The development of new methods for generating electric energy and the use of fuel and energy resources; • Ensuring the localization of production capacities in the territory of national states; • The creation of new transport systems that ensure the transfer and distribution of resources on a national and global scale; • Creation of an environmental preservation system for future generations; • Search for the most effective technologies for the use of oil, gas, coal and other natural resources; • Ensuring the transition to innovative and digital technologies; • Development of a system of interaction with various national states to achieve stability, reliability and security of the fuel and energy complex. Thus, the conference allowed formulating scientific recommendations for fuel and energy companies, state and regional authorities, international and supranational organizations, the scientific and professional community.
