A comparison of the capacities of geothermal power plants (GeoPP)in the world and in Russia according to 2018 data is presented. The implemen-tation of the Soviet large-scale geothermal project and the study of high-temperature steam geothermal deposits from the thirties of the last century to the present day are described

he paper discusses recently emerged trend of Chinese domination in the global lithium market. In order to determine the market structure, we have aggregated lithium production data and setup the corporate outlook. Establishing cartel arrangement drives lithium prices up.

A detailed assessment of internal and external demand for Russian coal is given. The analysis of situation in coal industry of the country is carried out. The logistics role in efficiency of supply of solid fuel is shown. The forecast of Russian coal industry till 2025 is given. Solutions of problems of the industry are offered.

The article discusses the challenges of integrating new energy and information technologies for large cities, with the aim of increasing the efficiency of the main sectors of the urban environment. Summarizing global trends in the development of smart cities, the harmonious combination of artificial and natural environment

The article discusses the possibility of transition of the Russian economy to an energy-efficient development path, as the main way out of the crisis. It is shown that autonomous energy based on the use of local fuel resources and waste fully complies with the requirements for modern innovative technologies.

This article presents the main views of the author on the development of energy beyond the 50-year horizon (from fantasy – to the goal and the target vision).

The data on the installed capacity of geothermal power plants (GeoES), geothermal heat supply systems in the world, potential reserves of Russian geothermal deposits, maximum volumes of extracted resources are presented.

The article discusses legal problems of state mechanism of determination of “extent of localization” of the generating equipment on energy production on the basis of renewable sources in quality of one of obstacles for obtaining by the enterprises the status of the qualified producer of energy based on renewable sources.

The article discusses the role and functions of leptin in the regulation of energy metabolism and the functioning of living organisms.

The results of theoretical studies of the mechanisms of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions are accumulated. A special role in these mechanisms is assigned to deep-seated fluid-saturated zones, whose physical parameters (pressure, volume) determine the conditions for the onset of certain catastrophic events inside the earth’s crust.
