Research in Coal Technologies
We cooperate with several dozen countries, carrying out research in the borderlands, participating in the implementation of international, pan-European and world research projects.
Research areas:
coal and organic petrology
- combustion of coal and biomass
- carbonization processes
- energy and climate
- security of energy supplies
- petroleum geology
We undertake comprehensive studies that define directions for oil and gas prospecting and extraction.
