Scientific and technological progress is underway, technological patterns are changing, but along with new sources of energy we must not forget about highly profitable traditional sources of energy, such as coal. Coal has unique properties, and there is great potential for the so-called small-tonnage coal chemistry for the creation of products that can be obtained only from coal, but in small volumes. At the same time, the environmentally friendly use of such a resource is possible, which is primarily accessible to all and is available in all regions of the world - it can be mined everywhere, it is easy to transport, and special delivery vehicles are not needed for it. In this sense, coal has a future, and we need to concentrate on environmentally friendly technologies for the creation of appropriate products from it.

The 2019 Global Energy Prize laureate, Frede Blaabjerg (Denmark), has Since 2019, the Global Energy been awarded “For the development of an intelligent management system Prize has been awarded in for renewable energy”. The scientist is the author of a number of inventions three categories: Traditional in the field of drive technology with an adjustable rotor speed. Today, they Energy, Non-Traditional are routinely used in wind turbines and can efficiently generate electricity, Energy, and New Ways of saving tens of millions of dollars a year. Frede Blaabjerg also developed Energy Application. important solutions for the integration of photovoltaic installations and wind turbines in the power grid, which is necessary for the reliable and The Non-Traditional Energy stable operation of power systems in general. Today, the installed capacity category includes works of such renewable energy plants connected to networks exceeds 1,000 GW. touching upon the topics Universal access to of renewable energy, affordable, reliable, Among other things, the professor is introducing new conceptual methods bioenergetics, fuel cells and sustainable and to ensure the reliability of power electronics for renewable energy sources hydrogen energy modern energy in order to reduce the cost of energy converters while increasing their sources for stability. everyone Dr Blaabjerg has developed several energy-efficient control systems for asynchronous, induction jet motors, and permanent magnet motors. Innovations have shown an increase in efficiency by 15–20% compared to standard control methods and have found application in commercial drives (Danfoss, Grundfos).
The 2018 Global Energy Prize laureate, Martin Green (Australia), has been awarded the Photovoltaic Research, Development and Educational Award. Sales of systems using PERC solar cells invented by Martin Green exceeded USD 4 billion at the end of 2016. USA, and total sales of solar cells using its technology will exceed USD 1 trillion by 20405.
PERC solar cells are already becoming the commercial standard worldwide. According to forecasts, in the next decade the elements will save another 750 million dollars USA to produce energy in Australia alone.

The 2017 Global Energy Prize laureate, Michael Graetzel (Switzerland), revolutionised the field of photovoltaics by developing cost-effective and efficient solar cells known as Graetzel cells. The efficiency of the Graetzel cells under bright sunlight is 15%, and in ambient light – 28%. They are able to work in different frequency ranges of the light flux up to infrared. Another advantage of the development is the simplicity of the device and the production of inexpensive materials.
Graetzel’s solar panels are produced by tens of thousands of square meters, but, according to experts, in the next few years this figure will increase to millions of square meters. In this way gigawatts of electricity will be generated - according to the forecast, by 2030 at least 20 GW of electricity annually6
The 2019 Global Energy Prize laureate, Khalil Amine (USA), has been Since 2019, the Global Energy awarded “For his contribution to the development of efficient energy Prize has been awarded in storage technology”. His research is related to the creation of new cathodes three categories: Traditional and anodes for lithium-ion batteries, the development of liquid-polymer Energy, Non-Traditional electrolyte systems, as well as lithium-oxygen, lithium-serum, and sodium- Energy, and New Ways of ion batteries. Energy Application.
He was one of the first to invent the 5-volt spinel cathode LiNi0.5Mn1.5O4, The New Ways of Energy which is currently being actively introduced into the energy systems of Application category Ensuring the various countries. discusses developments and transition to studies that offer solutions responsible The scientist’s main achievement is the invention of the NMC cathode, for new materials for energy consumption which is now widely used in household appliances and electric vehicles applications, efficient energy and production Chevy Volt, Chevy Bolt, Nissan Leif, Fiat Chrysler, BMW I3 and I8, Ford, use, efficient energy storage, Toyota, Honda and Hyundai. Not so long ago, a scientist developed a new and energy transmission superoxide storage system that can deliver five times more energy than lithium-ion batteries. This discovery gave an impetus to a new round of research aimed at increasing the energy density of batteries and reducing the cost of expanding the electrification of vehicles.
The global trend in the development of energy efficiency and the use of energy-saving equipment was reflected in the recognition of the Global Energy Prize 2018 laureate, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences Sergey Alekseenko. The Global Energy Prize was awarded to him by the totality of achievements, or rather, “For research and development in the field of heat power engineering and heat transfer systems, increasing the resource potential of mankind”.
The average efficiency of coal TPPs in Russia is 34.2%. The leading coal boiler in Germany has an efficiency of 47.5%. The boiler with a high- temperature turbine offered by Sergey Alekseenko can have an efficiency of up to 55%. Thus, to produce the same amount of energy on a new boiler, 1.6 times less coal will be required than the Russian average. The technology of coal-water fuel, proposed by scientists, with a guaranteed efficiency of 85% and improved environmental performance halves the consumption of coal.
Sergey Alekseenko is the initiator of the development of petrothermal energy (the use of high deep temperatures of the bowels of the Earth) as one of the freshest world energy trends. In the USA, the cost of petrothermal energy in 2020 will be 6.0 cents/kWh. The USA plans to reach the installed capacity of petrothermal stations in 2050 up to 100 GW (10% of the total installed capacity). If conventional gas stations are replaced with petrothermal ones, the economic effect during the year will amount to USD 12 billion due to the difference in cost. If the modernised
gas-fired TPPs are replaced with sequestration of СО2, the effect will reach USD 33 billion, whereas the effect of replacing of modernised coal-fired thermal power plants will reach USD 70 billion. If it is assumed that the share of capacity of petrothermal power plants in Russia is also at the level of 10% of the total capacity, then the economic effect will be USD 3.8 and 18 billion respectively

Glossary
Allam Cycle The development of the Global Energy Prize laureate, Rodney John Allam, which allows the generation of low-cost and clean energy from hydrocarbon fuels without harmful emissions into the environment. This technology not only restrains climate change, which is an important goal of the Paris Climate Agreement, but also contributes to sustainable energy development. The principle of technology: Natural gas is burned in a combustion chamber with pure oxygen at high pressure, and the resulting CO2 reaction in a closed loop passes through a special turbine and returns back to the process. The system has an efficiency of 58.9% and a high degree of carbon capture - almost 100%. The advantage of this technology is also the low cost of electricity production, comparable to the cost of electricity generation by other modern gas turbines: about 6 cents per 1 kWh. Now in the city of La Porta (Texas, USA), the world's first power plant has been launched, which uses the Allam cycle to generate electricity. This 50 MW experimental thermal power plant was built by the American company NET Power together with Exelon Generation, CB&I and 8 Rivers Capital
