DETERMINANTS OF THE PEAT INDUSTRY IN BELARUS. USE OF PEAT FOR ENERGY PURPOSES

Abstract

Peat mining in Belarus has a long tradition. After 1991, there was a degradation of the peat industry in Belarus. Russian-Belarusian energy conflicts forced Belarus to return to plans for peat extraction and its use in the energy industry. The purpose of this article is to analyze the role and importance of the peat industry in Belarus. Today Belarus is one of the largest peat producers in the world. The paper analyzes successive peat sector development programs and opportunities for their implemen- tation. It also undertakes to determine the role of peat in the Belarusian energy sector. The largest investments in the peat sector and opportunities for their realization were also discussed. The level of peat extraction and its use for energy purposes were also analyzed. A separate place was devoted to the directions of peat exports and its scale was determined.
