Title:Economic imperative of «green» extraction of critical minerals and diversification of enterprise investments as a basis for ensuring the investment attractiveness of the national economy

Annotation:Methods. The results were obtained by applying the following methods: general scientific and specific methods of system-structural analysis to justify the need for redistribution of investments in favor of full-cycle enterprises; grouping – to identify deposits that require investment; systematization – to determine the need for critical minerals for the period until 2050; scenario approach – when comparing scenarios for the development of events for the further transformation of the electricity sector to a low-carbon model of the economy. Results. The scenarios of the further transformation of the electricity sector to a low-carbon economic model developed by the International Energy Agency are described: Stated Policies Scenario (STEPS), Announced Pledges Scenario (APS) and Net Zero Emissions scenario by 2050 (NZE). The main aspects of each of the scenarios are outlined: the volume of demand for «critical minerals», their geographical concentration of extraction and processing. It is emphasized that enterprises extracting critical minerals must integrate their processing into their business models, which is key to ensuring sustainable economic growth and increasing their competitiveness. Novelty. By applying different development scenarios, mining enterprises have the opportunity to significantly increase the added value of their products. The prospect of further development is to replace the export of raw lithium with the production of battery components in Ukraine, which will significantly increase the profitability of enterprises and create a synergistic effect in related industries – from the production of components for electric vehicles to energy storage and electronics. Practical value. The prospect of creating an investment environment will increase the attractiveness for international partners, will allow for capital investment in the full production cycle in accordance with the principles of the circular economy. In addition, the responsible integration of mining and processing will allow for effective waste management, reducing the environmental burden and risks to the environment, which is extremely important for attracting international investment and integrating Ukrainian mining enterprises into global value chains.
