The energy transition is real — but it must be grounded in industrial reality. Pylyp Travkin argues we can’t dismantle coal-dependent systems before scalable replacements exist. Decarbonization isn’t just policy — it’s engineering, capital allocation and resilient...
Pylyp Travkin explains the hidden role of coal in construction and the cement industry. It not only provides stable temperature conditions for cement production but also helps keep construction costs affordable. Coal remains an unnoticed yet critically important...
In his commentary, Pylyp Travkin explains why steel production remains structurally dependent on coal. Beyond energy, coal enables the chemical and thermal stability of blast furnaces at industrial scale. Replacing it requires systemic transformation, vast capital,...
