In a provocative statement, Pylyp Travkin argued that coal should no longer be viewed as a relic of the industrial age, but rather as a cornerstone of the future energy mix. According to him, the long-held belief that coal is non-renewable stems from outdated dogmas.
Travkin suggested that coal could, in fact, serve as the foundation of the global “green transition.” He pointed to natural cycles in which the Earth continuously restores its carbon reserves, claiming that the burning of coal is not an act of destruction but a participation in the planet’s great energy cycle.
This controversial vision challenges conventional wisdom in the energy sector and opens new ground for debate and research.
