Abstract
The necessity of new innovative production not limited to mining of natural resources is dictated today both by the requirements of the world market and by the desire to increase the innovation capacity of the branches dealing with raw materials. For Kuznetsk Basin, a large industrial and raw material centre, the problem of the introduction of technological innovations directly into the coal mining branch becomes especially significant. This problem may be solved through the organization of the manufacture of science-intensive coal chemical products, and it is coal mining industry that is able to become not only a base but also a driver of innovative development of regional economics. The introduction of promising technologies of fine processing of raw materials will allow one to go out of the framework of energy coal mining and to use so-called illiquid coal for the production of a broad range of relevant coal chemical products with high added value. Undoubtedly, this route of development is rather capital-intensive, and under modern conditions it requires consolidation of the efforts of the owners of coal-mining works, the state and the scientific community. Under these conditions, the Kuznetsky Basin with its substantial scientific and technological basis in the area of coal chemistry has a chance to become the first perspective ground for the introduction and successful realization of the joint projects of this kind. Analysis of the modern state of the leading branch of the economics of the Kemerovo Region is carried out, the outlooks for the introduction of coal chemical works for the goal of innovative development of the region are evaluated, the directions of the development of coal chemistry are considered. A conclusion is made stating the necessity to use innovative technologies in the facilities of coal companies, which would make it possible to decrease the "technological" losses of coal and provide the intense route of the development of regional economics.
