Extraction and exploitation of fossil fuels as the foundation stone of concept of geoecology in Russia

Energy sector is considered to be the basis for economy’s growth, improvement of the population’s life quality, maintenance of energy security of the country. However, the activities of some enterprises of the fuel and energy complex have a negative impact on the environment. The problems of geoecology in the field of fuel and energy require close attention. In this article, by the example of coal industry, gives an evaluation of effects industrial enterprises on the environment. Based on the analysis of official statistical sources, the key trends in this area are highlighted. The strategic solution to the environmental problem in the coal industry, according to the authors, is the creation of energy technology and coal-chemical clusters. Geoecology management information systems should be developed for each cluster. The simplest structure of these systems is given in this paper. The next stage of the study should be to set and solve the problem of optimizing the functioning of each cluster and calculate rating estimations.
