Priorities of innovative project activities in the Russian fuel and energy sector

Abstract. The article analyses innovative project activities in the fuel and energy complex of the Russian Federation. The purpose of the presented research work is to identify and substantiate the level and dynamics of innovative activity in certain areas of the fuel and energy complex, including the operation of coal, hydraulic, thermal and nuclear power plants. The novelty of the research lies in identifying the priorities of innovative project activities in the fuel and energy sector of the country. Methodology and Methods. To identify the priorities of innovative project activities in the fuel and energy complex of the Russian Federation, general scientific methods are used in the form of theoretical analysis, analytical and logical methods, the method of comparison and comparison, and the graphical method. The scientific works of foreign and
Russian scientists on the development and implementation of innovative projects in the fuel and energy complex, expert assessments and analytical reviews of specialists in the field of fuel and energy, data from the Federal state Statistics Service are used. Results. The analysis of costs for the development and implementation of innovative projects in the fuel and energy complex of Russia in the context of the stages of the production and technological chain and energy carriers is carried out. The role of renewable energy sources in the production of electricity is noted. The advanced production technologies that are most actively used in the fuel and energy complex of Russia are named. The level of innovative activity of the Russian fuel and energy industries is considered, including in the field of nuclear energy. The dynamics of the development of innovative activities in various areas of the Russian fuel and energy sector in recent years has been revealed. The priorities of innovative project activities in the fuel and energy complex of the Russian Federation are identified and justified. The role of innovative project activity in the field of fuel and energy sector as a strategic direction for the development of the most important structural component of the Russian economy is noted. Discussion. The uneven innovative development of various spheres of the fuel and energy complex of the Russian Federation necessitates the identification and analysis of factors affecting the conditions for the development and implementation of innovative projects in the fuel and energy sector. It is of interest to analyse the dynamics of innovation activity over a longer period, which will allow us to identify certain patterns and form clear prerequisites for changing the level of innovation activity of organizations of the fuel and energy complex of Russia. A promising area is research in the field of renewable energy, taking into account the best practices of foreign countries. The issue of strategic development of innovative design in the field of fuel and energy complex of the Russian Federation requires further study.
