Analysis of effectiveness of the state industrial policy in ferrous metallurgy of Ukraine for the period 1996 – 2010 (p. 146 - 151)
The article contains analysis of results of realisation of legislative and regulatory acts, which determined development of the state industrial policy in ferrous metallurgy of Ukraine from 1996 till 2010. Analysis was conducted with the use of national statistics and international organisations: World Steel Association and International Steel Statistical Bureau. Analysis showed discrepancy of obtained results with the goals, which were set by the state within the framework of the branch industrial policy. This concerns development of the industrial and technological base, trade structure of production and export and also internal consumption of steel. Despite a number of benefits provided by the state, the technological level of the branch was low. Primary steel and semi-finished products dominate in the trade structure of production. Internal consumption of steel is limited and is lower than export indicators. The situation in other countries is quite opposite, due to which the article underlines a necessity to use their experience of branch industrial policy. Article is written in Ukrainian

Regularities of Formation of Own and Borrowed Capital of an Industrial Aviation Enterprise under Conditions of Financial Independence (p. 160 - 164)
The main problem that arises when determining effectiveness of capital management is a necessity to account a big number of factors, which can influence an enterprise and determine its financial independence. Today, the following problems acquire special importance when managing formation of a capital of an industrial aviation enterprise: identification of the general requirement in capital, search for sources of its formation and managing the structure. Recommendations with respect to managing the structure of own and borrowed capital, unlike in previously considered in scientific and special literature, are not limited with the study of methods of capitalisation of profit. They are connected with identification of possibilities of use of additional capital as an element of own and acceptance credit, bonded debt – as an element of the borrowed capital. At the same time, the funds that are attracted as additional capital and acceptance credit are not considered as components of the financial flow. Thus, methods of justification of growth of the value of the financial flow by means of alternative sources of growth of the capital and methods of assessment of influence of the capital structure upon the size of the financial flow act as elements of the mechanism of management of movement of financial flows of enterprises. The mechanism of formation of own and borrowed capital and methods of managing its structure objectively create conditions of financial independence of an industrial aviation enterprise in the form of automatic protection from external factors and by way of formation of sources of financial sufficiency of resources.

Selection and identification of a by-product coke plant (BPCP) management tool (p. 165 - 169)
The degree of achievement of its goal by a company depends on many factors, including on its management tool. Economic science offers a big selection of such tools, but, as the analysis has shown, not all of them could be applied at a BPCP. The goal of the article is to identify a BPCP management tool, which would take into account its technological and organisational specific features. Due to specific industry (complexity of a production complex and continuous nature of production) and organisational factors (ascription of BPCP to vertically integrated structures (holding) of a mixed type and technocratic type of management), the tools, the object of management of which are relations with clients and strategic changes at a BPCP, cannot be used. In order to achieve BPCP goals – minimisation of costs and maximisation of money funds – it is necessary to use tools, the object of which is operation activity of a company, taking into account conditions of their use. Such tools could include: controlling, management by goals, key indicators of effectiveness and budgeting. Under conditions when a holding company has a limited nature of influence upon formation of its income and cash flows, but at the same time has a possibility of independent operative management of financial activity, only efficient management of costs and finances can guarantee survival of the company. Budgeting meets these requirements. It could be used in a combination with controlling, which is an information provision of managerial decision making and management by goals, and key indicators of effectiveness, which are rules (recommendations) of identification of the system of indicators of activity of subdivisions.

Organisation and Fund Aspects of Analysis of Processes of Capitalisation of Industrial Enterprises of 5kraine (p. 179 - 186)
The goal of the article is to conduct analysis of market capitalisation of individual domestic industrial enterprises. Using such indicators as Eamings Per Share (EPS), relation of market capitalisation of the company to its net earnings (price/earnings, P/E), relation of market capitalisation of the company to its revenues (price/sales, P/S), Market-to-Book Ratio and Tobin’s Q-ratio, the article calculates the weighted average cost of capital by sectors of industrial production. In the result of the study it establishes that market capitalisation of domestic industrial enterprises mainly depends on the market cost of shares – assessment of the cost of business by the market. It proves that formation of the market capitalisation is determined today, first of all, by external factors: market situation, demand and supply of shares in the stock market and forecasted expectations of investors with respect to increase of effectiveness of enterprises’ activity in future. Solution of the problem of deficit of financial resources for realisation of large-scale investment project by domestic industrial enterprises through making financial resources cheaper and optimising their structure requires further study.

Assessing the Impact of Ukraine’s International Obligations on the Tariff Policy in the Energy Sector (p. 148 - 159)
The article presents an analysis of the existing international legal documents in the energy sphere, which define the features of the national energy policy of Ukraine. Among the main such documents are considered the Energy Charter Treaty, the Treaty on the establishment of the Energy Community, the Association Agreement between the Ukraine and the European Union. These international treaties have primacy over the national legislation, so their provisions should be of top priority in the course of formation of the national energy policy. At the same time, international commitments to implement the national tariff policy in the energy sector are not explicitly written in international documents. This fact allowed Ukraine to implement economically inefficient, non-competitive, and anti-social tariff policy in the energy sector. A systematization together with analyzing of the international obligations of Ukraine has allowed to determine that the following principles should be laid down in the basis of the national tariff policy in the energy sphere: non-discrimination of market participants on national affiliation; full reflection of efficient, including environmental, costs in conditions of sustainable development; transparency of regulatory policy; prohibition of distortion, limitation, and prevention of competition, as well as abusing of dominant position.

Activity of Industrial Enterprises: Essence, Morphology, Some Approaches to Measurement of Results (p. 122 - 130)
The article clarifies the definition of «activity» in the context of the proposed and/or developed further on paradigms of «resources - activity - result» and «effectiveness - scale - performance» as a genetically modified form, taking into account the structure (composition) of this activity, involving herein the concept of «morphology of system» (with consideration of enterprise as a system at the micro-level). It is substantiated that in the researches concerning the activities of industrial enterprises as production systems, in addition to common scientific and well-known specific methods, approaches and instrumentarium of scientific developments, it is possible to take advantage of the possibility of supplementing the prevailing in modern economic theory method of structural analysis with a genetic approach. The basic signs have been defined and some classifications of the activities of industrial enterprises have been allocated. It is emphasized that the unity of the form and content of activity implies their relative self-sufficiency and active role of the form of activity in relation to its content. It is pointed out that in the process of activity the cause-effect relations should be taken into account. Making use of the modified Euler – Venn diagram, the logic-methodological link between the trueness of the paradigms of «resources – activity – result» and «effectiveness – scale – performance» of an industrial enterprise as a production system are illustrated, taking into account the essence of the category of efficiency, which combines the qualitative (effectiveness) and quantitative (scale) components. The first of the above paradigms is visualized in the context of «system input – output» (using the «black box») for exploration of further directions of the enterprise’s activities, taking into account existence of the internal and external environment. It is emphasized that the optimal managerial decision on performance can be sought in simple both scientific and specific methods. It is determined that the use of the theory of genetic algorithms as methods that allow finding the optimal solution to problems of any complexity, due to the fact that they operate not by the ways of obtaining results, but the results of solving problems, – serves as an effective means of finding the best solution for enterprises’ performance due to the principle of evolution embedded in such algorithms.

Modernization of the Basic Means of Mining and Processing Enterprises of Ukraine (p. 157 - 164)
The mining industry belongs to the basic industries of Ukraine, and the enterprises of the industry are export-oriented. This predetermines the priority development of technical rearmament of existing mining enterprises in order to improve the efficiency of mining production in general. The main production funds are an essential part of the means of production, and therefore they play a crucial role in the economy of mining enterprise. The problems of reproduction of basic means are important in the economic activities of mining and processing enterprises. Reproduction of the main funds of mining enterprise is one of the most important factors in the activation of investment activities in the mining industry in Ukraine. Currently, the renewal, modernization and replacement of obsolete equipment are becoming the main factors for improving the return on fixed assets, increasing profits, productivity and, ultimately, increasing the economic potential of the mining industry. The development of market relations has led to the need to improve the methods of reproduction of basic means. The final results of the enterprise’s business activities depend on the status and efficiency of use of basic means. The basic means as the main element of the material and technical basis play an important role in the production-economic activities of enterprise and should be used appropriately and efficiently. Therefore, the work towards the restoration of the enterprise’s basic means is urgent and remains one of the main issues in the current economic situation in the country. Current trends in economic development in Ukraine increase the responsibility of economic entities for the results of their activities, largely depending on the availability of basic means, their technical condition and efficient use. A common matter for the renewal of basic means is the substantiation for financing the relevant activities: first of all, an assessment of the enterprise’s trust funds, formed from profits and credit resources, must be carried out.

The Renewable Energy Strategy from the Perspective of Public Welfare (p. 163 - 171)
The main global tendencies in both the traditional and the renewable energy are displayed. By means of the generally accepted standard indicators, the article compares the cost of generating a unit of energy using both the traditional and the renewable sources. Monetary estimates of the environmental impact of the traditional energy are presented. A brief analysis of the status of traditional energy in Ukraine and the prospects for the development of the separated renewable energy sectors are provided. In this, the authors show that as a result of the current status of the traditional energy industry (nuclear, thermal, hydropower) the path of development of renewable energy is the only practical way out of the most difficult situation. The life of nuclear power, taking into account the extension, ends by 2030. Thermal energy is characterized by an extremely low efficiency factor and the highest concentration of hazardous substances in the atmosphere among European countries. A comparison of the prospects for solar and bioenergy has shown that the positive impact of bioenergy on the environment should be taken into account when estimating the efficiency of generation. Should this be not taken into account, it turns out that bioenergy has significantly worse economic efficiency indicators relative to solar and wind power generation. Based on the construction of the optimization model of the solar power generation station (SPGS), it is proved that the efficiency of investments in solar energy is improving along with the growth of installed power. Estimates of the payback period at different amounts of annual electricity consumption by the household, depending on the amount of installed capacity, have been made. Estimates of the discount profit of the project for a guaranteed life of operation have been made. It is shown that investing in SPGSs can be used by the population as an efficient financial instrument. Article is written in Ukrainian

Assessing the Efficiency of Use of Energy Resources Based on the Conception of Sustainable Development (p. 174 - 180)
The article is aimed at assessing the efficiency of use of energy resources at the national level. According to the carried out analysis of the policy of various countries in the energy sector, it is possible to allocate the following models of building up the country’s energy sector: national-monopoly and national-competitive. The indicators of energy consumption and energy efficiency, functionally related to the main indicator of the country’s economic development – the production of gross domestic product per capita – are considered. The energy consumption and energy efficiency indexes in Ukraine for 2007–2019 are calculated. The accomplished forecast of changes in the per capita energy consumption index and the efficiency of use of energy resources based on exponential smoothing demonstrates the effectiveness of the chosen Energy Strategy of Ukraine. This makes use of the MS Excel «forecast sheet» package, allowing to build up three scenarios of changes in energy consumption and energy efficiency indices for the period of 2020–2024: realistic, pessimistic and optimistic variants. It is proved that the general low level of energy efficiency in Ukraine is primarily related to the deterioration of fixed assets and technologies, the crisis status of the economy as a whole and an inefficient energy policy of the State. It is proved that constant monitoring of the indicative indicators of energy saving and energy efficiency at various hierarchical levels of the economy will allow to implement optimal managerial decisions on energy development, control of energy costs, timely prevention of occurrence of crisis situations. Prospect for further research is to build up a model of social behavior of agents based on sociability (micro-environment) and the degree of diversity of elements (macro-environment), as well as the model of the ecosystem of agents for energy saving issues on the basis of the conception of «predator-prey».

The Alternative Model of Competitive Electric Energy Market of Ukraine (Part 1) (p. 115 - 124)
Ukraine has introduced a quasi-competitive electric energy market of the European prototype, which has significant functioning defects. Correction of this model should take into account the requirements of the European cross-national legislation, peculiarities of the national energy system and the most successful experience in liberalization of electric energy markets of other world countries. The article proposes an alternative model of the competitive electric energy market of Ukraine, which provides for: introduction of exclusively organized form of electric energy trading over a long time interval; development of spot segments of the market through an effective combination of different trade mechanisms and pricing methods; development of the balancing management system on the basis of combined dispatching. The time market of electric energy is presented by the authors in the form of the market of financial derivatives for electric energy, which can either be converted into physical electric energy, or can be cascaded for shorter periods of time, or can become basis for financial settlements. The one day in advance market is divided in 3 sessions: the first two of which function at the declared prices, while the third one - at the margin prices. The intra-day market also operates on the basis of multi-session trade: it is proposed to introduce 6 intra-day auctions and continuous trade. The balancing market is represented by two segments: the balancing power market and the balancing energy market, which together allow to introduce combined dispatching in the energy system. The authors have identified significant advantages of this model compared to the existing one, which will ensure operational efficiency of the competitive electric energy market in Ukraine.

The Alternative Model of Competitive Electric Energy Market of Ukraine (Part 2) (p. 117 - 127)
The development of a competitive electric energy commodity market in Ukraine does not guarantee the creation of the necessary conditions for the security of electricity supply and the adequacy in developing the energy system. The conflict of commercial interests with the physical needs of the energy system causes the need to introduce the capacities market as a complementary segment to the electric energy commodity market. Ukraine has determined that the capacities market will function in the form of competitive procedures according to the targeted scope-oriented approach. Ukrainian capacities market has not yet been launched, but it is already possible to assume its potential ineffectiveness and inefficiency. Significant disadvantages of the electric energy cycle of Ukraine prove the insufficiency of a targeted approach to its organization. In addition, there are also pathological systemic problems with regard to the electrical energy industry of Ukraine (narrow diversification, inflexibility, heavy overtime load of power units, isolation and rapid development of renewable sources of electricity generation). The article proposes an alternative model of Ukrainian capacities market, which provides for: the organization of the balancing capacities market for the preliminary dispatching of both physical and commercial electric energy flows in the energy system; formation of the market of traditional capacities to ensure the adequacy of the development of the energy system; development of the market of alternative capacities for the integration of renewable electric energy generation, taking into account the requirements of flexibility of the energy system. The authors have identified significant advantages of this model compared to the proposed one, which will ensure operational security of electricity supplies and adequacy of the development of the energy system.

Economic Strategies of Innovative Competitiveness of Textile Industry Enterprises in the Categories of Costs and Results (p. 109 - 118)
The article is aimed at diagnosing the costs of textile industry enterprises and developing economic strategies for innovative competitiveness of enterprises focused on the growth of their results. In terms of dynamic approach to the growth rate of value added volumes the article allocates the following sub-sectors - leaders and outsiders. In terms of structural approach, it is shown that the bulk of the value added accounts for the production of other textile products, primarily the production of finished textiles, except clothing. The overall tendency of textile production to increase positive financial results during 2010-2019 is statistically proved. The sub-sectors with cumulative losses and the greatest contribution to the formation of the financial result of the textile industry are allocated. The tendency of all types of textile production to increase the proportion of profitable enterprises is identified. It is shown that there are no large enterprises in the textile industry, and the main share of the financial result is formed by medium-sized enterprises, except for the production of finished textile products, apart from clothing, and other textile products for technical and industrial purposes. The main economic strategies of innovative competitiveness of textile industry enterprises are substantiated. Article is written in Ukrainian

Analyzing the Problems of Develoment of Nuclear, Thermal and Renewable Energy in Terms of the Electric Power System of Ukraine (p. 132 - 138)
In order to research the process of development of the energy systems of Ukraine, the current status and problems of development of nuclear, thermal and renewable energy are analyzed. The global trends in the development of nuclear energy is identified and it is noted that after the short-term decline caused by the accident at the «Fukushima-1» nuclear power plant, a gradual increase in the number of operating reactors has begun. The crisis situation in the nuclear and thermal energy market is outlined. Within the framework of the existing PSO (Public Service Obligation) model, the National nuclear power generating company «Energoatom» suffers significant losses. The limitation of electrical energy production at nuclear power plants in 2020 is an insufficiently grounded measure that will adversely affect the energy security of the country. Shutting down the power units of nuclear plants means that instead of producing energy one begins to consume energy, while a constant duty with ongoing servicing of equipment and maintaining the security systems is required. It is indicated that the coal-fired power plants of Ukraine have already developed their estimated resource and have an extremely low usage rate of installed capacity. In addition, coal-fired power plants in Ukraine are used in maneuvering modes, to cover peak loads, which leads to accelerated wear and tear of equipment and reduces production efficiency. A comparative analysis of the development of renewable energy sources (RES) is carried out and it is proved that the increase in electrical energy production due to RES requires the development of sufficient maneuvering capacities. The current situation indicates that the capacities of HPP and PHES are not sufficient, so at this time coal-fired power plants are used for such purposes, but such a part-time mode of operation leads to further wear and tear of equipment and an increase in emergency situations.

The Conceptual Principles of Improving the Management of the Gas Production Complex of Ukraine on the Bases of the Experience of Leading Oil and Gas Companies (p. 165 - 172)
The main directions of improvement of the gas production complex management and the role of individual factors affecting the efficiency of its activities are determined. Taking into account that the oil and gas complex is a system of enterprises and organizations for various functional purposes, united to meet the needs of consumers in provision of natural gas, on the example of improving the organizational structure and management system of NK «YUKOS», all stages of its transformation into a world–class oil company are considered. Recommendations on the use of positive experience in Ukraine are provided. It is shown what achievements of NK «YUKOS» have already been taken into account in the reform of the management system of JSC «Ukrgasvydobuvannya», – in particular, today it is conditionally represented by three large sectors: upstream, midstream and downstream. The upstream sector includes the search for potential underground or underwater natural gas fields, drilling of exploration wells, drilling and operation of the wells extracting unprocessed natural «wet» gas; the midstream sector provides transportation (pipelines, railways, barges, oil trucks or regular trucks), storage and wholesale of gas, while networks of natural gas pipelines aggregate gas from natural gas purification stations and deliver it to consumers – local utilities; the downstream sector usually refers to the processing and purification of natural gas, crude oil, as well as the sale and distribution of products derived from natural gas and crude oil. Distribution by sector in gas production allows to classify fixed assets in accordance with the above–mentioned sectors: drilling rigs, offshore drilling platforms, well repair machines, software for geological exploration and geophysical research – upstream; well plumes, inter–industrial gas pipelines, condensate pipelines, oil pipelines, booster compressor stations, equipment for the complex gas preparation – midstream; gas processing and oil refineries, petrol stations – downstream.

The essence of the concept of «risk» is analyzed and the need for its estimation in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus is specified. The main classification features of risks in the activity of industrial enterprises are considered. The state of Ukraine’s industry in 2020 is examined and it is concluded that as a result of the coronavirus crisis it is in a difficult situation. A number of risks are identified and their negative impact on the activities of industrial enterprises in Ukraine, both in quarantine and in post-quarantine conditions, is characterized. Among them are: financial-economic, international, commercial, industrial, and social risks. The expediency of application for the estimation of determined risks of statistical, expert, accounting-analytical, analytical, economic and statistical methods, as well as methods of analogues, sensuality, scenarios, Monte Carlo, is substantiated. Given the uncertainty of the time frame associated with the duration of the coronavirus pandemic, it is proposed to constantly monitor risks in order to improve the situation in the sphere of industry, which will allow timely detection of weaknesses and identification of the negative manifestation of crises in various industry sectors. Prospects for further research in this direction are the development of a mechanism for managing and reducing the negative impact of identified risks on the activities of industrial enterprises in both quarantine and post-quarantine conditions, as well as outlining the instruments for ensuring the positive effect of the proposed mechanism.

Trends in the Development of the Solar Energy Generation Market of Ukraine (p. 114 - 119)
The research is aimed at analyzing and finding the reasons for the specific development of the solar energy market of Ukraine, defining the interaction on the part of the State and its role, furthermore the role of monopolists-generators and small generating equipment in private households. As result of the research, the following issues are considered: specifics of the formation of a share of the segment of solar power plants among renewable energy sources; the largest companies – solar energy generators in Ukraine; dynamics of changes in the «green» tariff and installed capacity of solar power plants over the past decade; development of the direction of small solar power plants installed by households and the largest generating regions of Ukraine by both the number and the installed capacity of the households’ SPP. Analyzing modern analytical reports on renewable energy generation, it is appropriate to note that a system of indicators, which is being created currently to reflect the real state of development of renewable energy, indicates a certain prospect of scientific research in this direction. Modern problems of development of the generating renewable energy market are defined, among which the following are defined: changes in legislation on the «green» tariff, which leads to changes in the investment climate and attractiveness of generation projects, the conflicting mechanisms of tariff auctions; potential threat of shortage of both storage and transport capacities (due to disproportionate development of generation volumes and its infrastructure support) etc. Based on the analysis of existing development trends, conclusions have been drawn about the future state and development of the solar energy generation market. The need to form a balanced national strategy for the development of renewable energy, taking into account the current conditions for reducing the «green» tariff and the cost of generating equipment, as well as taking into account the national interests of the State, the interests of monopolists and households, has been established.

The Socioeconomic Bases of Biofuels Production Business at the Organizational Level (p. 175 - 187)
The article is aimed at defining the priorities for the development of the biofuel market in Ukraine to ensure the energy security of the country and satisfy the country’s energy needs. Prospects for the bioenergy sector of the economy in the world will be determined primarily by the optimization of national policies in the matrix of multifarious criteria. The place of the Ukrainian model is highly likely to be determined, on the one hand, by the development of the national market, on the other hand, by the production of raw materials for world biofuel markets. At the same time, this market and production in Ukraine remains only a potentially promising model that requires a scientific substantiation for its efficiency. As a result of the study, it is specified that the bioenergy industry has serious limitations and problems of economic nature that require scientific substantiation. After analyzing the limitations and prospects of the industry development in Ukraine at the level of agricultural enterprises that could deploy biofuel production, it should be emphasized that: 1) there is currently no biofuel market in Ukraine: there is no significant production, hence the proposal still remains unformed; there are no agents (firms, enterprises) of the market that would form the established demand; the necessary norms, institutions, mechanisms of the representative market have not been developed; 2) there is no successful experience of such a business both in Ukraine in general and in agricultural enterprises in particular.

Assessing the Production Potential of Innovatively Active Industrial Enterprises on the Basis of IECO Analysis (p. 188 - 193)
The article is aimed at forming a methodological and practical basis for assessing production potential, taking into account the directions of strategic management, which are inherent in the innovatively active industrial enterprises. The essence of the strategy of enterprise development, the main factors of ensuring the efficiency of the strategy are examined. The need for a qualitative reliable assessment of production potential in the formation of an innovative strategy for the development of the enterprise is substantiated. Assessment of the conformity of production potential to the developed strategy allows to decide on the implementation of measures to fulfill the goals of the enterprise or to search for opportunities and reserves to increase the level of production potential. As result of the research, a methodological approach to the assessment of production potential with the help of IECO analysis is developed, this analysis allows assessing the production potential in the context of the main directions of strategic management, the development of which ensures the efficiency of the enterprise: innovative activity, ecological responsibility, competitive positions, organizational adaptability. IECO analysis is based simultaneously on the resource conception and the conception of competitiveness and provides both quantitative and qualitative assessment of production potential. The use of IECO analysis also allows to determine the impact of elements of production potential on its formation and development, which is useful in determining the priority of focusing the attention of the management of enterprises on the relevant element of the potential. Since the analysis results in an integral indicator in a value expression, this analysis can be used as one of the methods for assessing the value of a business. Prospects for further research in this direction are to develop a model for optimizing the components of production potential in order to achieve the maximum possible economic effect and ensure the possibility of using production potential to the full extent.

The Theoretical Approaches and Methodological Principles for Development of Ukrainian Pharmaceutical Production in the Conditions of European Integration (p. 194 - 201)
The article is aimed at disclosing the theoretical approaches and substantiating the methodological principles of development of high-tech pharmaceutical production (HTPhP) of Ukraine in the conditions of European integration. The author identifies the nature of development of HTPhP in developing countries and displays the related obstacles; the new form of dependence on the supply of intermediate goods for production and finished medicines for healthcare, manifested in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, is specified. It is noted that the key determinant of obtaining sustainable competitive advantages of the Ukrainian HTPhP should be the construction of strategic networks with key stakeholders of the national innovation system on the part of companies. It is substantiated that the involvement of TNCs technologies can be a catalyst for the modernization of Ukrainian pharmaceuticals, provided that this process is accompanied by an active policy of the State. It is shown that despite the fact that Ukraine has created a regulatory framework, which generally relies on the guidelines defined by the EU and WHO, Ukraine continues to increase its dependence on imports of pharmaceutical goods. It is determined that the current normative acts in Ukraine regulate legal relations in the pharmaceutical sector, but do not define either priorities for pharmaceuticals or measures for their implementation. Endogenous barriers and exogenous threats impeding the development of HTPhP of Ukraine are identified. It is recommended to balance the interests of consumers and manufacturers with the interests of the State when choosing the benchmarks of the HTPhP development policy of Ukraine. In view of the development of pharmaceuticals, attention is paid to a significant role of consciousness of doctors and patients regarding the quality and efficacy of medicines produced in Ukraine; mental and value changes, transformation of informal institutions; improvement of framework conditions for innovation.

Functional Analysis and Development of Integrated Manufacturing Systems of Industrial Enterprises (p. 201 - 206)
The article specifies the key economic aspects of the functioning and development of integrated manufacturing systems of industrial enterprises. The article is aimed at substantiating the prospects for the development of integrated manufacturing systems as one of the paradigms of the organization of the production process. The methodological instrumentarium of the research consisted of the following methods: retrospective analysis, synthesis, critical analysis, graphic method, generalization method. In modern conditions, more and more attention is paid to the new integrated level of manufacturing systems, which can be considered as a combined production system from an aggregate of multi-level constituents of production systems of enterprises with the most progressive organizational and technological capabilities, created for a limited time in order to implement complex projects. The evolution of the organization of production systems with the allocation of modern paradigms of variability and integration is researched. The role of technological niches in the development and marketing of multitechnological platforms as examples of integrated manufacturing systems is outlined. The main requirements for production systems created in technological niches are such parameters as their flexibility, the level of automation and the possibility of integration. It is determined that flexible or integrated production means that the functional spectrum of multitechnological platforms should be maximized. The flexible production strategy is more profitable than conventional manufacturing, if there is a high probability that additional functions will actually be applied in the future, and the integration of functions will cause lower costs than the integration of an additional single-technology machine. Integration of manufacturing technologies is an urgent paradigm for designing production systems within the framework of evolutionary theory. The direction of technological progress is determined through the concept of suitability, which represents a fuzzy image of a prospective product developed in accordance with the technological paradigm in the selection environment. The problem of classification of flexible, reconfigured and integrated manufacturing systems is the prospect of further research. Article is written in Ukrainian

Ukrainian Enterprises in the Tandem of Decarbonization Policy (p. 207 - 214)
The article is aimed at reflecting the essence of the course of European countries to reduce carbon emissions, which is the core of the policy of decarbonization. The stages of implementation of such a policy lead to structural changes in production, and quarantine conditions during the pandemic lead to changes in public consumption of certain types of goods. In addition to the economic stages of the implementation of the «green program», the EU countries have developed an investment plan to activate private and public production in the appropriate direction. Private investors join it in order to get involved in projects with the State guarantee of their implementation – both in European countries and from abroad. At present, such promising and global economic and investment measures to ensure the policy of decarbonization are not taking place in Ukraine. However, the private sector of Ukrainian production reacts ahead, in contrast to the State legislative position, with a certainty as to priority opportunities in order to increase competitiveness. Taking into account these major external factors of influence, it is identified the goods that have undergone significant changes in their demand, namely: devices for heating the premises. The dynamics of the sale of this product has increased in the world market due to lockdowns in different countries, and in the Ukrainian market – due to the fact that domestic producers have competitive prospects. The article examines the volume of world imports and exports of devices for heating premises, describes ways of selling Ukrainian goods abroad, as well as reasoned prospects for new, underserved foreign markets. In addition, domestic enterprises carrying out innovative production of this ware are identified and an analysis of its competitiveness is carried out. The successful sale of this product is facilitated by the independent work of the domestic producer to promote its own export goods, as well as existing consumer changes due to the deepening of most European countries into the «green» policy.

Assessing the Potential of Renewable Energy Production as a Driver of Economic Growth (p. 146 - 152)
The presented article aims to study the relationship between consumption and production of renewable energy and economic growth expressed in GDP per capita of the countries that invest the most in the development of renewable energy (USA, EU, China), and in the global dimension – for comparison with Ukraine and Russia. The World Bank’s secondary data for 1990-2015 and methodology of linear regression modeling were used for the research. An analytical review of the growing global investment potential of renewable energy in terms of general dynamics, sectors and leading countries in the context of investments in renewable energy sources was carried out. The results of correlation-regression analysis demonstrate a high correlation relationship between alternative energy consumption and economic growth of more developed countries with high GDP per capita than countries with lower GDP. The findings are consistent with other publications reviewed in the research. In addition, the increase in both China’s and the world’s GDP in the share of alternative energy production has a positive impact, and the increase in the share of consumption is negative. Whereas at the level of such countries as the USA, the European Union and Ukraine – on the contrary, consumption itself has a positive impact. The development of alternative energy has a negative impact on the economic growth of the Russian Federation in both indicators. According to the results of the carried out study, it can be summarized that countries with both high and low GDP should take all necessary measures to increase consumption and production of renewable energy sources, which provides for the formation of a favorable investment climate for large-scale investments in renewable energy, which, in turn, will lead to an increase in the pace of economic growth in the long term.

Substantiating the Economic Project-Based Parameters of Rocket and Space Technics in Conditions of Sustainable Space Activity (p. 80 - 88)
The publication is aimed at determining the project parameters of the latest rocket and space technics. It is stated that when developing projects, it is necessary to take into account all phases of the life cycle of rocket and space technics in accordance with European standards as follows: phase 0 «Mission analysis/needs definition», phase A «Feasibility», phase B «Preliminary design», phase C «Detailed design», phase D «Qualification & Production», phase E «Operation», phase F «Utilization». On the basis of fractal analysis, a graphic interpretation of the comparison of SWOT-analysis components for the development of the rocket and space industry is constructed. The advantage of the model is the compactness of development due to the use of one platform and operational efficiency of use due to the absence of the need to upload data to a specialized system. Practical recommendations on the development of a national strategy for the innovative development of the rocket and space industry of Ukraine in the conditions of sustainable space activities are provided. It is identified that the weakness and a threat to the activities of the aerospace industry is insufficient financing for implemented projects and inefficient distribution of funds among its components: science – production. It is proposed to use Blockchain technology as an effective instrument for the cyber security of space objects. Possibilities of Agyle management are considered as a means for overcoming barriers to the introduction of innovative solutions in space activities. The mathematical model of project selection when maximizing the economic effect is presented, which takes into account both the economic components (the costs of «life» of the project, the budget for implementation, the cost of deferred decisions), as well as the social and ecological effects. The system of criteria for selecting and limiting a rocket and space technics project is substantiated. Prospect for further research is the substantiation of the project parameters of the latest rocket and space technics from the positions of other components of general efficiency: technical, social and ecological.

Global Challenges and Prospects for the Structural Development of Ukraine’s Electric Energy Industry (p. 86 - 98)
One of the important problems of the economic development of Ukraine today is the low energy efficiency of social production with a high level of external energy dependence. The purpose of the study is to define modern global challenges, and, with account of them, to outline the prospects for the structural development of the electric energy industry in Ukraine. The current vision of the prospects for the energy development of the world economy is analyzed on the basis of the results of foresight forecasts, accomplished by the leading international institutions and energy companies. The content of the global energy transition and its main directions in the electric energy sector is analyzed. It is determined that along with the paradigm of the global energy transition, considerable attention is paid to the development of environmentally friendly generation methods, which primarily include electric energy generation based on renewable energy sources (RES). The aggregate of power generation technologies is divided into two types according to two common features of resources: 1 – power generation technologies, which are based on the process of converting organic and nuclear fuel into electric energy; 2 – power generation technologies, which are based on the processes of converting energy of inexhaustible and renewable energy sources (except biological) into electric energy. A methodology for calculating and comparing the resource characteristics of power generation technologies is developed; resource intensity is computed; the costs of electric energy production using power generation technologies are provided; a comparative comprehensive (technical-economic) assessment of the efficiency of technologies based on the use of the matrix method is presented. Based on the carried out analysis, an overall rating of the efficiency of power generation technologies is compiled. Technologies expedient for use in Ukraine have been identified.

Stabilization of Transformation Processes in the Energy Security Measurement System of Ukraine (p. 127 - 134)
Radical transformations of the Ukrainian energy system also caused changes in energy policy. However, the interpreted provisions did not provide for extraordinary differences regarding the modification of energy measures in terms of individual regions. These actions subsequently caused the institutional transformation of fuel, gas, and electric power measures on the way to economic liberalization. Energy policy combines legal, organizational, financial and economic regulation in the country's national policy context. Implementation of innovative technological improvements in the FEC allows for: modernization of the energy system; improvement of infrastructure; integrating advanced foreign practices into one's own system; application of innovations following the EU legislation; introduction of hydrogen technologies and the transition to clean energy. Creation of reserves to avoid the shortage of energy resources: formation of the legislation of Ukraine regarding the reservation of oil and gas storages; creation of an Eastern European gas and oil center (hub) in Ukraine; formation of a system of increasing price competition on European markets through reservation. Assimilation of experience and formation of established norms of behavior on energy saving includes: improvement of normative and legal aspects of the regulation of economic activity by business entities; technical improvement of production processes; application of systematic monitoring and energy audit; achieving the effect of scale during the production and consumption of energy resources. The energy efficiency of the use of resources in view of their diversity and the use of FEC allows for: reliability and continuity of energy supply; pricing; normative and legal instruments of regulation; projects related to the implementation of efficient energy use; measures to preserve the environment. Diversification in the application of RES in energy segments provides for: diversifying the ties with the countries of the energy society; resuming the cooperation with Poland through the ?winouj?cie LNG terminal in the context of gas and energy; activating the transit of energy resources through Slovakia, Moldova, and Romania.

Formation of Business Models of the Energy Sector of the Economy on the Basis of Neotechnological Reproduction (p. 74 - 82)
The purpose of the article is the formation of business models of the energy sector of the economy on the basis of neotechnological reproduction. According to the results of the carried out study, we can state that, despite the fact that Ukraine has a strong fuel and energy potential, it lags behind the most economically developed countries in the technological, information, and digital provision. The old model of industrialization, based on the circulation of an increasing number of natural, material and labor resources, must now be changed to meet the requirements of neotechnological reproduction. The article, based on the results of the carried out analysis, defines that the pace of transition to efficient energy use does not keep with the goals declared by international politics. Energy conservation, bioenergy, carbon capture and storage are prime examples of areas where there is significant potential for technological development, still it is unlikely to be realized unless decisive policy actions will lead to the necessary investments. Some significant progress in the development and implementation of new technologies was achieved only where the policy clearly demonstrated the value of technical innovation. The recovery of the national economy is happening at a faster pace than previously expected, though still maintaining some imbalance of supply and demand in the energy market, which, in turn, influences the stability of energy carriers prices. In the future, energy will face many more shocks and periods of turbulence. Therefore, the government faces the difficult task of developing an individual, comprehensive and balanced approach to the development of a national strategy for the development and formation of energy security. The basis of this process will be the desire to ensure national energy security, that is, taking into account both environmental and economic aspects through proper diversification of energy supply sources.

The article is aimed at studying the state of Ukrainian machine-building enterprises and the peculiarities of the infusion of investment resources into their activities, also identifying problems and prospects for attracting investment resources to the industry during the Russian-Ukrainian war. Based on the analysis, systematization and generalization of the works of many domestic researchers and data from the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, the dynamics of attracting capital and foreign direct investment in Ukrainian machine-building enterprises in the period 2014–2022 was considered. As result of the study, the machine-building sectors with the greatest investment attractiveness are identified and the expediency of infusion of investment resources exclusively into them was substantiated. The main tendencies and problems of investment support for innovative development of the machine-building sector of the domestic economy are identified and characterized. It is substantiated that as a result of the aggravation of the military conflict, part of the machine-building enterprises of Ukraine has suffered significant damage, so there is an urgent need for investment resources. A general analysis of the needs of Ukrainian machine-building enterprises in investment resources was carried out and specific amounts of necessary financing were distinguished. The machine-building enterprises of Ukraine, which occupy priority positions in the industry and require the largest amount of investment resources, are allocated. Prospects for further research in this direction are the development of strategies and projects directed towards attracting foreign investment resources to the field of domestic engineering – both during the war and after its end – since the active provision of investment resources will transform the Ukrainian machine-building industry into a more innovative one, thereby contributing to the improvement of the state of the national economy of Ukraine in general.

World Market of Synthetic Liquid Fuels: The Features and Development Prospects (p. 164 - 172)
The production of and trade with synthetic liquid fuels (SLF) is an integral part of the global market. The issues of energy security and energy independence have especially acutely raised before the countries of the world in the light of today’s conditions. They are especially important for Ukraine, which has suffered enormous damage as a result of full-scale military aggression of the russian federation. Positive experience in the development of SLF production in the countries of the world and global trends prove the relevance of further study of this problem in order to identify opportunities and ways to meet domestic needs for liquid fuels on this basis. The purpose of the presented research is to determine the features and prospects for the development of the global SLF market. The article analyzes the raw materials-based and regional features of the development of the SLF market, as well as the main technologies of its production and the main manufacturers. It is determined that the development of world production of SLF today takes place in two different (alternative) directions, which are determined not only by the use of different resource bases, but also by production goals, i. e.: the production of SLF based on the use of GTL technologies in order to expand the commodity (including the export) nomenclature of hydrocarbons produced in the country; production of SLF based on the use of СTL technologies to cover the shortage of liquid hydrocarbons in the country. It is proved that the growth factors of the SLF market, including: the unstable situation in the crude oil market; political uncertainty in the world and dependence on oil supplier countries, which does not ensure the energy security of consumer countries; the environmental friendliness of the SLF and the desire of governments to achieve the zero emissions target by 2050, etc., suggest an even stronger growth in the synthetic fuel market than predicted, since the issues of energy security and energy independence in the context of the military aggression of the russian federation against Ukraine have come to the fore in many countries of the world, which will intensify the acquisition of other sources of fuel production in particular.

Modern Contradictions in the Domestic Electric Power Industry (p. 130 - 136)
The article is concerned with studying the current state of the domestic electric power industry and the existing and potential contradictions between stakeholders in the process of its restoration and modernization. Based on the studies of world experience, possible changes are indicated, namely: recovery of the energy system on the basis of decentralization; development of mini-power plants; creation of an energy storage system at existing hydroelectric power plants; development of hybrid projects in the field of renewable energy sources (RES) and the introduction of other generating capacities of «green» energy. The need to amend the Draft Concept of the «green» transition of Ukraine until 2050 to increase the share of electric energy from the nuclear energy sector is substantiated. It is noted that the domestic energy sector will undergo significant changes in the coming decade, but positive changes are possible only with the interaction and beneficial cooperation of all business structures, as well as with the support of their activities by individual territorial communities and public organizations. Attention is focused on a significant number of stakeholders in the electric energy market, some of which have counter interests, which will cause conflicts and contradictions. The article also points out that one of the important ones is the contradiction between the need for a radical energy transition to new technologies and the interests of current raw materials and energy monopolies to maintain the status of traditional energy for as long as possible. As a result of the study, it is determined that the current sector of the domestic electric power industry is characterized by a significant number and versatility of contradictions, which are proposed to be classified on the basis of «sphere of manifestation» into the following: economic; social; market-based, and technological. It is proposed to consider the processes of detection and identification of contradictions as an important prerequisite for a solid foundation in order to ensure a stable, consistent and innovative development of the electric power industry sector of the national economy.

Specifics of Economic Relations in the Thermal Power Industry of Ukraine (p. 157 - 170)
The main directions of Ukraine’s development in the medium term are the recovery and development of the country after the russian armed aggression, as well as the reform of the mechanisms for managing and regulating the economy in general and the thermal power industry in particular in accordance with the criteria set for accession to the EU. The aim of the study is to identify and generalize the specific features of economic relations in the thermal power industry of Ukraine. The article proposes a classification of factors that can be used to characterize the heat supply system of a particular settlement; the Ukrainian legislation regulating relations in the field of heat supply is studied; the prerequisites for reforming the heat supply sector in the direction of creating regional thermal energy markets are determined. The features of the organization of heat supply in the regions and settlements of Ukraine by types of energy carriers and the structure of thermal energy production are studied (steam or hot-water boilers, combined heat and power district heating, thermal power plants, nuclear power plants). The structure of thermal energy production in some large cities of Ukraine is analyzed. It is determined that an important feature of activity in the field of thermal supply is the centralization of capacities. An analysis of thermal supply systems in large cities of Ukraine has been carried out and it has been proved that the simultaneous use of both large generating capacities and small autonomous boiler houses is typical. Based on the study of existing projects of new buildings from the Database of Energy Certificates of the State Agency on Energy Efficiency and Energy Saving of Ukraine, it is proved that in recent years, in the design and construction of new residential buildings, there has been a tendency to abandon district heating. The features and priority of the use of various heating schemes in residential new buildings of the country are determined. The ownership structure of economic entities in the sphere of district heating of communal energy in Ukraine is analyzed. The number of unprofitable and profitable enterprises of thermal power engineering is studied in the context of forms of ownership. The features of economic relations in the thermal power industry of Ukraine are generalized, which generally characterize the specifics of the organization and functioning of this sphere and constitute the basis for its further reform and post-war development.

Contract Manufacturing as a Factor in Enforcing Post-War Recovery Processes in the Economics of Ukraine (p. 191 - 196)
The recovery of Ukraine, on the one hand, must take place very quickly, on the other hand, after the end of the war, Ukraine will face not only the problems of restoring industry and infrastructure, but also the demographic crisis, the loss of markets and logistical advantages, which will require building new ties and entering new markets. At this, a localized and certified production of medical products as part of the overall recovery process can contribute to solving the indicated problems. The purpose of the study is to identify the possibility of applying the advantages of contract manufacturing in the medical industry as a component of the process of recovering the industrial potential of Ukraine, taking into account the main world trends in this direction and development programs of countries that can become new trading partners of Ukraine. The study is based on a combination of methods of scientific knowledge with general scientific and special methods of analysis and synthesis, statistical quantitative and qualitative comparison and analogies. The experience of post-war industrial recovery in other countries of the world is identified in order to allocate the key factors that contributed to the successful restoration of production capacities. The development of contract manufacturing as one of the potential instruments for the recovery of industrial production in Ukraine after the ceasure of hostilities is considered. The current state of the sphere of contract manufacturing in the world market, in particular in the context of the European region and the countries of the Arabian Peninsula, is studied. The key trends and prospects for the development of this industry are defined, as well as its significance for the resumption of industrial production in Ukraine after the end of the war, in particular in the medical field, is substantiated. The importance and expediency of using the advantages of contract manufacturing as an effective instrument for the implementation of strategies for the recovery and development of the national industrial sector of Ukraine are substantiated.

Development of the Processing Industry of Ukraine as a Direction of Restructuring the National Economy (p. 202 - 208)
The aim of the article is to generalize the problematic aspects of the functioning of the processing industry of Ukraine. An analysis of theoretical approaches to the positioning of the processing industry as a factor of value creation for industrial products, which, through export, ensures the emergence of added value of other types of economic activity in foreign markets, is carried out. It is noted that against the background of in-depth processing of raw materials, the added value of finished products is growing at a significant pace and ensures an increase in gross domestic product and, accordingly, the development of the national economy. The properties of the processing industry are generalized, which consist in the production of orders for certain types of services, in particular research, information, educational, financial, etc., that ensures the development of innovations for the formation of new sectors of the economy. It is concluded that structural changes in the processing industry generate a transformation of the country’s economic system. Emphasis is placed on deindustrialization as a process of reducing the proportion of industrial activities in the structure of the economy and the share of processing industry in the structure of the country’s industrial sector, which has two forms. The first one is a decrease in the volume of industrial production, the second one is a slowdown in the growth rate of industry compared to other types of economic activity. It is noted that Ukraine is characterized by the first form of deindustrialization, characterized by such main problematic aspects as deterioration of the structure of the economy and negative shifts in the commodity structure of exports. The deterioration of the structure of the economy is determined by the inability to produce products with a high share of value added, which is accompanied by a significant decrease in the share of the processing industry in the structure of gross value added of the national economy, as well as a decrease in the level of manufacturability of industrial products. Negative shifts in the commodity structure of exports are reflected in the rapid decline in the volume of exported manufacturing products against the background of an increase in exports of raw materials. Prospects for further research in this direction are the formation of effective means for the revival of the country’s processing industry, in particular on the basis of the concept of the Novel Industrial Development of Ukraine.

The Fuel Security of Ukraine: Challenges and Ways to Overcome (p. 209 - 217)
Guaranteeing fuel security is an integral part of the problem of ensuring the national security of each country, on which its socioeconomic stability and defense capability depend. Over the past 20 years, Ukraine has not paid much attention to strengthening fuel security, gradually losing its own oil refining complex. The article presents a methodical approach to assessing fuel security by components of the product balance of crude hydrocarbons and motor fuels of Ukraine and highlights how it changed in 2000–2021. This approach is based on 14 local indicators and allows identifying the fuel security challenges both by component and in general. It is found that the lack of government attention to fuel security issues led to the fact that initially part of the oil refining complex of Ukraine went into russian ownership, was extensively exploited, and products were exported even under conditions of import dependence of the domestic market of motor fuels. The absence of a balanced investment policy has made Ukrainian motor fuels uncompetitive and led to the closure of most of the industry’s enterprises. Consequently, the overall level of fuel security decreased from 61% in 2001 to 36% in 2020. The destruction of the last oil refining capacities as result of russian armed aggression turned Ukraine into a country with a zero resource cycle of motor fuel and reduced the level of fuel security to almost 0. Among the ways of strengthening Ukraine’s fuel security in the post-war period are considered both the conventional ones: through maximizing its own oil production and importing crude hydrocarbons from world markets, and the non-conventional ones, e. g.: developing a resource cycle of synthetic motor fuel based on coal raw materials.

Conceptual Modeling of the Development of Synthetic Liquid Fuel Production in Ukraine (p. 181 - 190)
The article is devoted to conceptual modeling of the development of synthetic liquid fuel production in Ukraine. Conceptual models of development, as well as its scientific, analytical, institutional and organizational support are substantiated. A system of principles and tasks of modeling under the conditions of implementation of certain scenarios has been developed, the basis of which is the political and economic position of the country, which corresponds to: the wartime and post-wartime states, the period of recovery and stabilization of the economy. The factors and results of the development of the national production of synthetic liquid motor fuel (SLMF), system relationships between the elements of the models are determined. In general, the modeling complex is an integral system of conceptual provisions for the use of available resources, the creation of production, the organization and control of the results of investment and economic activity. The article carries out several simulations, completing them by a parametric model of development of production of synthetic liquid motor fuel, which, on the basis of data on the formed scenarios, made it possible to prove that the development of the production of SLMF in Ukraine can ensure a reduction in the country’s external oil dependence from 12 to 17%.

Analyzing the Challenges and Threats to the Petroleum Products Market in the Context of National Security (p. 235 - 240)
In this work, based on the analysis of sources of information that are in the public domain, the major threats and challenges to the petroleum products market in the context of national security are identified. The concept of national security, its connection with other types of security and the place of the market of petroleum products in these relations are considered. A model of relations between the petroleum products market in the circle of national security has been built. For the petroleum products market of Ukraine, an analysis of factors that are threats and challenges both common to all countries and specific to Ukraine is carried out. The study identifies the main threats to the petroleum products market in Ukraine, including: the possibility of losing supplies due to the lack of medium-term and long-term contracts; intersection of interests of exporting and importing countries, which is reflected in their use of specific means of solving problems; blockade of ports, destruction of existing petroleum depots; the difficulty of creating a stock of petroleum products due to the vulnerability of warehouses or petroleum depots; problems with own production of petroleum products due to the destruction or damage of existing facilities for production of petroleum products and the vulnerability of places of extraction of raw materials for petroleum products; almost complete dependence on imports; political pressure on the petroleum products market both from exporting countries and domestic political pressure. The challenges to the market include the growth of the logistics leverage, the change in the preferences of buyers from gasoline in favor of diesel fuel and the rupture of previous logistic chains with the need to create new, as well as unplanned changes in transportation due to changes in the situation at the State borders. There is also a growing demand for the use of rail and sea transport for the supply of petroleum products to the markets of Ukraine. In this regard, an additional challenge is to pursue a reasonable pricing policy in these conditions in order to prevent a sharp increase in prices in the petroleum products market.

A Feasibility Study of Different Methods of Gasification of Brown Coal for the Production of Synthetic Motor Fuel (p. 128 - 138)
The aim of the article is to assess the feasibility of organizing the production of synthesis gas from brown coal, the reserves of which in Ukraine are sufficient. As a raw material base, the article considers the coal of the Novo-Dmytrivske deposit, which is located on the territory of the Kharkiv region. The balance reserves of brown coal in categories A + B amount to 284.4 million tons and in category C1 – to 95.6 million tons, that is, a total of 380 million tons. The average technical analysis data for the deposit are as follows: moisture per working weight is 51.2%; ash content per dry weight is 19.4%; the total sulfur content is 2.45%. The elemental composition of the coal of this deposit is characterized by the following data: carbon – 68.0%, hydrogen – 6.0%, oxygen – 23.0%, sulfur, nitrogen and other elements – 3.0%. To achieve the goal, the properties of coal of this deposit have been examined and the following technologies of coal gasification have been analyzed: Lurgi process (counter-current steam-oxygen gasification of coarse coal (or briquettes) in a stationary bed); Prenflo process (direct-flow steam-oxygen gasification in a pulverized coal stream); Texaco process (direct-flow oxygen gasification in a coal-water pulp stream). For each of these processes, material balances have been developed; the quality of gas synthesis, the possibility of organizing the production of the necessary energy resources, the level of emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere, and the main technical and economic indicators have been evaluated. The calculations were made for an enterprise with a coal capacity of 9 million tons of actual weight per year. Based on the calculations made, the Lurgi process is recommended for industrial implementation. The advantages of this process are: the lowest temperature and pressure of the gasification process; a wider range of products obtained during gasification; almost optimal syngas composition in terms of H2 : CO ratio; the lowest emissions of carbon dioxide generated during coal gasification and preparation of synthesis gas for further use; the lowest production cost of prepared synthesis gas; the lowest specific capital investments (per 1 thousand m3 of prepared synthesis gas). The inexpediency of using the Texaco process for the gasification of brown coal is substantiated, as well as the directions for improving the Prenflo process for its further use in the gasification of brown coal of the Novo-Dmytrivske deposit are determined.

Conceptual Aspects and Principles of Formation of Competitive Heat Energy Markets (p. 204 - 215)
Thermal energy should be considered as a commodity that has its own competitive market, where equilibrium is established in the plane of «supply and demand», so it is necessary to separate commercial (production and supply) and non-commercial (transmission and distribution) functions of heat supply, ensuring the development of fair competition between producers of heat energy and minimization of its costs for consumers. It is proposed to develop competition in the heat energy markets according to the single buyer model. Such a market will be managed by an independent system operator. It consists of a market operator – a single buyer who manages the trading platform, as well as performs the functions of an administrator of settlements between producers and consumers, and a transmission system operator who is responsible for the transmission, distribution and dispatching of heating networks. The peculiarity of heat energy markets is the impossibility of separating the wholesale and retail levels, so there is no need to allocate the supply function. Conceptual provisions for the formation of competitive heat energy markets are based on: 1) zonal delimitation with flow market relations; 2) centralized dispatching; 3) the embodiment of the market infrastructure by an independent system operator; 4) organized over-the-counter trading in the form of a price dialogue for small settlements without backbone networks and exchange trading in the form of heat auctions for medium and large settlements with backbone networks; 5) derivatives (annual), spot (monthly), and balancing segments of the market; 6) the uniform non-discriminatory pricing for consumers and declared pricing on the basis of benchmarking for producers; 7) annual baseload contracts, monthly peak load contracts, and balancing time contracts. The principles of formation of competitive heat energy markets are: transparency, openness, economic efficiency, fair access, competitiveness of producers, fair competition, price compromise, balance and reliability, decarbonization. The expected results of the opening of competition in the heat energy markets are: transparency of heat purchase and sale transactions; minimization of heat purchase prices by consumers; optimization of the utilization of heat-generating capacities of the heat and power system; promoting the development of highly efficient and low-carbon district heating. The latter is especially important from the point of view of restoring Ukraine's energy system after russian aggression, as priority should be given to independent heat producers who use renewable energy sources, have excess or waste thermal energy.

Assessing the Compliance of Gasification Products with the Strategic Objectives of the Achievement of Circular Economy (p. 216 - 224)
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.

Methodical Aspects of Pricing in the Heat Energy Markets under the Auction Approach (p. 115 - 128)
The development of competition in the heat energy markets with main heating networks is possible on the basis of the organization of unilateral heat auctions between heat producers. A prerequisite for opening competition in the heat energy markets is the separation of heat generation and heat networks, as well as the provision of regulated access to heat networks for independent producers. In terms of time segmentation, it is advisable to introduce: annual auctions, where basic heat needs are being contracted; monthly auctions – for peak needs, and daily auctions – for hourly imbalances. The article proposes organizational and technological regulations for conducting annual heat auctions, which should cover 80–90% of heat needs. Heat auctions should function according to the declared pricing method, where the producers who are the auction winners receive income for the contracted volumes of heat generation at a given price, while consumers pay a single weighted average price. Heat auctions operate under centralized dispatching, which provides for the coordination of physical and commercial heat energy flows, taking into account the technical specifics of heat networks. The article substantiates variants of economic and mathematical models of auction pricing in the heat energy market with different configurations of heat networks. As such a configuration, are considered heating networks with: 1) unlimited flow connections; 2) insulated heat producers; 3) system restrictions on throughput capacities within the heating area; 4) one-way and 5) two-way flows between adjacent heating areas. Establishment of a fair price for heat energy is reduced to solving the function of minimizing the weighted average price of heat energy for consumers under the following conditions: a) full satisfaction of consumer demand for thermal energy; b) technical capabilities of heat generation; c) connections and throughput capacities of heating networks within the heating area; d) directions of flows and capacity between adjacent heating areas. Each heat network represents a unique configuration of these conditions, therefore, the solution of the economic and mathematical problem of setting the auction price for heat energy will be different in each local heat market. Approbation of the proposed approach proves that with a large number of regulatory and systemic restrictions within the heating area, the price of thermal energy will increase, while bilateral flows of thermal energy between adjacent heating areas lead to a decrease in the price of thermal energy. The proposed methodological aspects of auction pricing for thermal energy should be introduced in large and medium-sized settlements with trunk networks, which will allow independent heat producers who work on renewable energy sources or have excess and waste heat to integrate into the market, contributing to the decarbonization of the city and the country as a whole.

Formation of the Conceptual Foundations of the Strategy of Neo-Industrialization of Industries (p. 128 - 137)
The aim of the article is to form the conceptual foundations of strategizing the development of industries under neo-industrialization with the application of the methodology for identifying strategic goals, objectives and measures and taking into account the system of factors and conditions of the institutional, organizational, and economic environment. The article confirms that the criteria for achieving the targets of neo-industrialization are deep structural changes and institutional reforms in the industrial sector of the economy. The sequence of formation along with the tasks of the strategy of neo-industrialization are allocated. The methodology for identifying the strategic goals, objectives and measures of the strategy of neo-industrialization of various industries is outlined. When analyzing the researchers’ works, it is found that the structure of the neo-industrialization strategy is predominantly standardized and includes such elements as the aim and initial conditions, problems and obstacles, objectives and strategic goals, principles, measures and mechanisms of implementation, organizational, financial and resource support, expected results, methodological support for monitoring and control, as well as the final part. The system of factors, conditions of the institutional and organizational-economic environment of the strategy of neo-industrialization of industries is specified.

Problems of Import Substitution and Their Solution at Machine-Building Enterprises (p. 208 - 216)
The article presents the results of a study of the problem of import substitution at two levels of management, namely: macro- and micro-level. The aim of the article is to substantiate the scientific, methodical and practical aspects of import substitution in the current conditions of enterprise activity. On the basis of the analysis of the works of well-known experts on the problems of export-import activity, it is proposed to consider import substitution as a process of ensuring the efficiency of activity by: production of own competitive products with high added value; replacement of imported raw materials, materials and components with domestic ones that have a lower cost; diversification of production of quality products of lower value, which replaces imported products in the domestic market. Such a definition specifies the ways of import substitution in the conditions of a real enterprise. The problems and prospects of implementation of the import substitution strategy in the machine-building industry are considered. An analysis of the implementation of the import substitution strategy at the enterprise of JSC «Ukrainian Energy Machines» has been carried out. Some aspects of methodological support for determining import substitution at enterprise have been proposed. A multifactorial regression model of dependence of profitability of enterprise activity on the volume of exported products and volumes of imported raw materials, materials and components has been developed. On the basis of the SWOT analysis, effective ways to implement the import substitution strategy at the enterprise to improve the efficiency of its activities have been identified.

Analyzing the Directions of Transformation of the Mining and Metallurgical Complex of Ukraine (p. 217 - 225)
The aim of the article is to select and substantiate the technology of blast-furnace (coke-free) steel production, which can be used in Ukraine, taking into account the existing raw material base, the provision of the necessary energy resources and other specific conditions of the country. Technologies of direct reduction of iron (coke-free metallurgy), which are of industrial importance, are based on the interaction of iron ore (in the form of pellets) with synthesis gas (a mixture of hydrogen and carbon monoxide). In this case, hydrogen is used as an iron reducing agent, and carbon monoxide is burned with the release of heat necessary for the chemical reaction to take place. Synthesis gas on an industrial scale is produced either by steam catalytic conversion of natural gas or by coal gasification. Production of synthesis gas from natural gas can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions compared to coke oven metallurgy (from 1.4–1.7 to 0.328 tons of carbon dioxide per 1 ton of iron). Yet, in the current conditions of Ukraine, this technology cannot be used due to the shortage of natural gas and high prices for it. Direct reduction of iron by synthesis gas obtained from coal in Ukrainian conditions has great prospects due to the presence of large reserves and developed coal mining of those grades of coal that are most suitable for gasification. Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions with this technology can be achieved if synthesis gas with a hydrogen content of more than 67% is obtained at the gasification stage. The article also discusses the prospects of hydrogen metallurgy, in which only hydrogen obtained by electrolysis of water is used as a reducing agent and a source of heat necessary for the reaction. Under the current conditions of Ukraine, the only source of electricity for electrolysis can be considered a specially built solar power plant. It is calculated that a power plant with a capacity of more than 100 MW is required to produce 1 million tons of direct reduced iron. The possibility of constructing a complex for the production of direct reduced iron using only hydrogen requires further research. Article is written in Ukrainian

The Methodical Approach to Substantiation of the Method of Coal Gasification for the Production of Synthetic Motor Fuels (p. 254 - 264)
The aim of the article is to substantiate the most suitable method of gasification of Ukrainian hard coal for further production of synthetic motor fuel. For this substantiation, a methodical approach has been developed, the use of which has allowed to obtain the following results. As a raw material base, the article recommends long-flame coal of the Western Donbass, located on the territory of the Dnepropetrovsk region, where powerful enterprises for the extraction and enrichment of coal operate. The most common methods of coal gasification in the world are analyzed: Lurgi (counter-current steam-oxygen gasification of large-lump coal (or briquettes) in a stationary bed), Siemens (direct-flow steam-oxygen gasification in the pulverized coal stream), Texaco (direct-flow oxygen gasification in the flow of coal-water pulp). For each of these methods, material balances have been developed; the composition and quality of the generated gas, the possibilities of organizing the production of the necessary energy resources, the level of emissions of harmful substances into the atmosphere and wastewater discharge have been evaluated. A methodology for calculating the composition of generator gas is proposed, which takes into account the composition of the blast (content of oxygen, water vapor or water). All calculations were performed for an enterprise with a coal capacity of 550 thousand tons of working weight per year. Based on the calculations and comparison of their results, the Texaco method is recommended for industrial implementation. The advantages of this method are as follows: the absence of a stage of steam production for gasification, the scarcity of the water cycle, which practically excludes the formation of wastewater, and the possibility of using contaminated water from other sources for gasification; the highest total content of hydrogen and carbon monoxide in the resulting synthesis gas; the maximum assimilated capacity of production reactors and the largest number of capacities created in the world using this technology; utilization of the heat of the resulting gas to obtain a large amount of electric and thermal energy.

System-Cluster Approach to Ensuring the Management of Energy Security of Enterprises in the Conditions of Entropy of the External Environment (p. 209 - 217)
The relevance of maintaining energy security at a high level is relevant both for the country as a whole at the macro level and for territorial entities of various types in the regions at the meso-level. Particularly acute are the problems associated with the disruption of previously established production relations, non-payments for the supplied energy resources, social and environmental tensions, etc. Under these conditions, great importance is attached to the issues of energy security of enterprises that determine energy security at the macro and meso levels of the economy. The complex structure of electric power systems (ЕPS) necessitates the development of adequate methods for determining their states, so that the measures formed taking into account the analysis carried out have the most optimal effect on changing the situation in a positive direction. The features of the system-cluster approach to ensuring the management of energy security of enterprises on the basis of the formation of energy clusters of the electric power system at the macro-, meso- and micro-levels of the economy are studied. The content of the concept of «energy cluster» is presented in the aspect of studying the problem of ensuring the management of energy security of enterprises of electric power systems at the macro-, meso- and micro-levels of the economy. The prerequisites for the formation of energy clusters are analyzed and the main theoretical approaches to cluster development, reflecting its multiaspectuality, are allocated. The system-cluster approach is considered as a set of measures capable of improving energy security by taking into account the territorial and sectoral relations of enterprises of the electric power system at the macro-, meso- and micro-levels of the economy. Various approaches to the application of system-cluster technologies to ensure the management of energy security of enterprises of electric power systems at the macro-, meso- and micro-levels of the economy are shown and a multi-level system-cluster approach is proposed. The theoretical and applied principles of constructing the configuration of management of the electric power system of the economy as a fractal-cluster object of energy security of enterprises in the conditions of entropy of the external environment on the basis of the system-cluster approach are formed. Scientific approaches to the definition of the concept of «system-cluster approach to ensure energy security management» are analyzed, as well as the author’s own interpretation of the concept of «energy cluster ensuring energy security management of enterprise» is provided.
