Abstract
This article proves that there is a variant of decarbonization of energy industries that is not associated with the use of an alternative, "green" economy. It corresponds to countries rich in resources, including the Russian economy, their option for reducing the negative impact on the environment is to reduce energy consumption in the economy. The article analyzes the following ways to achieve this goal. In accordance with the concept of the "circular economy", lean production is considered as one of the ways to reduce energy consumption, and attention is also paid to building business models focused on the reuse of resources, waste recycling. As part of the search for new forms of management, new management models, diversification of production has been allocated, which is based on the rejection of narrow specialization and the growth of efficiency due to the formation of new structures or functions of the enterprise. Particular importance is given to the digital transformation of the electric power industry, since it provides ample opportunities for saving resources by accelerating the speed and improving the quality of information, new production management capabilities, and the use of fundamentally new devices and tools.
