Yakov and Partners - In the media

Despite the general trend of increasing energy efficiency, coal still accounts for more than a quarter of the global energy mix. The decline in consumption and production in Europe and the United States is evident, but it is not yet time to declare coal a thing of the past for these regions. The domestic coal industry is capable of sustaining the required export volumes, but logistics issues are coming to the fore, say Yakov and Partners’ director Egor Bespyatov and expert Sofia Mangileva

64% of respondents from the industry stated that the impact of using digital technologies had reached 2% of EBITDA. Digitalization brings more than 3% EBITDA to every third mining and metallurgy company in the Russian Federation. Yakov and Partners experts estimate that increasing digitalization levels could bring an additional RUB 1–3 bn in EBITDA for companies with a turnover of RUB 100 bn, and an additional RUB 6–10 bn for companies with a turnover of RUB 500 bn
