Igor V. Shpurov, Inna Ya. Edelman RESOURCE AND TECHNOLOGY SOVEREIGNTY AS THE FOUNDATION FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT IN RUSSIA According to the UN and other sources, the growth in global energy consumption will be around 30 % by 2050, even taking into account optimistic energy saving trends. Despite the projected growth in renewable energy production, fossil fuels will continue to be an important part of the global energy mix. It is found that although the share of fossil fuels is expected to reduce from 84 % today to 64 % in 2050, absolute oil production will remain at current levels while 35 % more gas will need to be produced. According to Global Gas Outlook Report by 2050, about 74 % of annual natural gas production will come from approved and new projects, as well as from the development of undiscovered resources. This suggests that current proven reserves are insufficient to meet growing demand and that exploration projects and new discoveries are essential. Keywords: energy consumption, fossil fuels, renewable energy sources, hydrocarbons, gas, exploration projects, investments. Р. 4-10 |

Kobylkin (State Duma of the Russian Federation) BRICS ENABLES THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMMON PRINCIPLES OF RESOURCE MANAGEMENT The article examines ranges of all countries for their place in the fourth industrial revolution. It is found that all parties recognise that the energy transition will take decades and will be accompanied by rising energy needs and costs. Risks of raw material shortages and high commodity prices are intensifying competition between countries. The article examines how BRICS can become a key platform for coordinating efforts to protect and promote national interests, as well as to develop common approaches to resource management.

I. Shpurov, V. Bratkova, N. Inamov (FBI «GKZ», International Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Resource Management, Digital Subsoil Use) UNITED NATIONS STANDARDS — A PLATFORM FOR CO-OPERATION AND THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PARTNER COUNTRIES Availability and accessibility of minerals, as well as the technologies that enable their efficient and independent extraction, underpin the development of the economies of all countries and ensure the possibility of meeting the needs of society. Developing cooperation between partner countries to develop on a new basis, combining national interests and international standards is a key step towards achieving sustainable development and creating an effective strategy to meet new global challenges, including energy challenges. For this purpose, it is necessary to know the reliable state of the resource base of partner countries, including for attracting investments in geological exploration and development of mineral resources, development and introduction of new efficient technologies. This can be done on the basis of mutually recognised common principles, standards and approaches for the evaluation of mineral reserves and resources by the partner countries; mutual recognition of competent persons; creation of converters for the translation of mineral reserves between national classifications. All this will create a sustainable and equitable resource management system to achieve sustainable development goals both in individual countries and the world as a whole. Keywords: SDGs, resources, UNFC, energy efficiency, critical minerals, fossil fuels, consolidation, converter, mutual recognition of experts and competent persons, harmonization of national reserve and resource assessment system Р. 22-24 |

L.A. Krinochkin, V.A. Kilipko, O.K. Krinochkina, V.I. Blokov (FSBI «IMGRE», MGSU) REGIONAL GEOCHEMICAL SURVEY AS A TOOL FOR REPLENISHING THE NUCLEAR ENERGY MINERAL BASE IN THE BRICS COUNTRIES (AS EXEMPLIFIED BY THE U MINERALIZATION IN SOUTHERN RUSSIA) The paper portrays geochemical features of the sequence underlying the southern part of the European Russia, aiming at prediction of the uranium concentrations and strengthening the uranium mineral base of this region. The 1:1M stream sediment and soil surveys over the L-38 map sheet territory produced the data needed as a knowledge base of the relevant map. The sampling density in both types of surveys was 1 per 100 sq. km. Mobile species of U and related elements, a total of 60, were assayed using ICP-MS. Identification of nine anomalous areas promising to contain payable mineral deposits, probably of the paleo-valley style, made the practical side of the research. This may expand the uranium mineral base of this economically well-developed region with currently limited reserves of such materials. Keywords: south of European Russia, uranium, mineral base, geochemically anomalous area Р. 28-34 |

The borehole was drilled using cable-suspended Ice and Bedrock Electromechanical Drill (IBED) designed by the Jilin University (China) and under a joint scientific project between VNIIOkeangeologia, Jilin University and China University of Geosciences (Beijing). The drill site is located on the axis of a high-amplitude linear magnetic anomaly that runs parallel to the coast for more than 500 km from Princess Elizabeth Land to Mac.Rosbertson Land.
