Resumen

The article is devoted to the study of a comprehensive approach to the development of secondary resources in coal-mining regions as a key factor in ensuring sustainable development and energy security. The theoretical foundations and practical aspects of the use of coal industry waste, including rock dumps, mine water and mine methane, are considered. The article considers modern technologies for processing coal industry waste, which consist in forming a more balanced approach to the use of natural resources and creating preconditions for a gradual transition to more environmentally friendly technologies in the energy sector. A conceptual model of sustainable development of coal-mining regions based on the principles of the circular economy is proposed, which is based on five key principles that can form a comprehensive system for managing secondary resources in coal-mining regions. This will make it possible to increase the overall efficiency of the system by 35-50% compared to the isolated application of individual production processes, create economic models for coal-mining regions that are resistant to external shocks, form unique competitive advantages in the global market, and ensure long-term social, economic and environmental stability in the region.
