The former first Vice Prime Minister of Ukraine Sergey Arbuzov informs that the refusal of the current government from the principles of " Energy strategy of Ukraine till 2030 ", developed and implemented by the former government, had Already set the Ukrainian industry to the brink of bankruptcy.
" the lack of serious infrastructural reforms and the refusal of the achievements of the previous government led to the fact that Ukraine was included in the dependence on supplies of energy that, Under good conditions, it would not be needed at all ", - quotes the message of Sergey Arbuzov, made today, 10 June, his press service, reports the news Agency journalist. A former curator of the economic block of the government of Ukraine explained that every year the country consumes more than 40 billion cubic metres of gas, of which More than twenty falls on import. However, the story is mostly about a useless waste of resources, because only thermal energy losses are estimated at 65%, which is significantly higher than the average in developed countries." The energy efficiency of the economy automatically decided the problem of the gas dependence. However, all attempts of previous governments to address this issue faced significant opposition in the country authorized Ukrainian business uninterested to invest in the modernization of industrial facilities, which they got for nothing as a result of privatization, " said Arbuzov.
the expected Increase of gas prices for plants to $485, according to Arbuzov, that will inevitably lead to bankruptcy of a number of industrial sectors. Now, he says, a critical situation has formed on the 4 largest chemical enterprises of Ukraine: JSC " Severodonetsk Azot Association Nitrogen ", " Stirol ", Cherkassy " Azot " and " Rivneazot ", which produce more than 2/3 of all of nitric fertilizers in Ukraine and in fact since the spring do not work. The problem of the high cost of chemical industry automatically beats and other industries. The most important thing is agriculture, where mineral fertilizers up to 70% of the cost.
not completely the problem of the gas dependence could solve the project of construction of plants for production of synthetic gas from coal, which the previous government had attracted Chinese loan in the amount of 3, 7 billion." It was planned to build several plants for gasification of coal in the Donetsk, Luhansk (coal) and Kirovohrad (brown coal). These plants were obliged to provide savings of up to 4 billion cubic meters of gas every year, and guarantee a market for Ukrainian mines in 10 million tons. However, as long as the Ministry of coal industry has abandoned this project, somehow believing him up, " says Arbuzov.
