Abstract

Climate change and the scarcity of natural resources necessitate a reevaluation of corporate behavior and enterprise ecosystem towards resource efficiency and climate neutrality. Particular importance is given to rethinking the content and components of the sustainable resource use paradigm based on cross-sectoral interaction. In the context of transitioning to a low-carbon economy, which involves the decarbonization of energy through the diversification of renewable energy sources, including the processing of agrobiomass (energy plant resources) into biofuels, the creation of agro-energy clusters becomes a priority for strengthening energy and environmental security. The aim of the article is to theoretically and methodologically substantiate the convergence of the sustainable resource use paradigm under conditions of corporate climate neutrality, to elucidate the climate-neutral immanence of sustainable resource use of enterprises, and to determine the methodological prerequisites for the creation of agro-energy clusters based on resource efficiency and climate neutrality. The main provisions of modern resource concepts of sustainable development in the energy market have been systematized. A scientific contradiction in the area of resource use and climate neutrality has been noted. It has been found that the basis for distinguishing the climate-neutral immanence of sustainable resource use of enterprises is the principles of the circular economy, inclusive development, and crosssectoral interaction of enterprises. Considering this, the methodological prerequisites for the creation of agro-energy clusters include the principles of resource concepts, integration methods for incorporating the climate component into eco-energy security, optimization approaches to resource utilization, principles of transitivity in organizational innovation processes, and climate innovation in eco-energy management of enterprises. The assertion of climate-neutral immanence in sustainable resource utilization by enterprises indicates the formation of a climate paradigm of sustainable resource use in the energy market. Consequently, there is a need to conduct scientific investigations to define indicators for achieving systemic-process effects and to develop organizational-innovative tools for the management mechanism of functioning climate agro-energy clusters.
