  • Iran's Strategy for Export of Natural
    Iran’s Strategy for Export of Natural Gas Statement by: M.A. Sarmadi-Rad Director of Regional Economic Cooperation MFA of Islamic Republic of Iran WORKING PARTY ON GAS UN/ECE 15th SESSION JANUARY 2005 GENEVA In the Name of God, The Compassionate, the Merciful Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen, First of all I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the organizers of this meeting for inviting me to make this presentation. It is indeed a pleasure for me to be here and share with you my point of view regarding Iran’s strategy for exporting natural gas. As for natural gas we all know that demand for natural gas has been growing much faster than the demand for other primary energy resources. It is also expected that the share of natural gas in the primary energy basket to increase rapidly. The growth rate of world demand for natural gas will average 3.1%. It is also no secret that European countries will be even more dependent on natural gas in the coming decades. Projected natural gas supply and demand for 2020 and 2030 reveal that European countries will have to find new sources of supply to satisfy their additional demand. Russia, currently the main supplier of natural gas to Europe, may not be able to meet this increasing demand. Because Russia, as is widely expected, will have to meet the growing demand for natural gas in FSU countries and in its domestic market. Iran, located strategically in the vicinity of Russia, the CIS countries and the Caucasus, as well as on the eastern border of Europe, has the potential to export large quantities of natural gas both to EU markets in the west and to the growing energy markets of South Asia and beyond.

  • Wind and Solar Energy Developments in Iran
    WIND AND SOLAR ENERGY DEVELOPMENTS IN IRAN H. Kazemi Karegara,b, A.Zahedia,V. Ohisa, G. taleghanib and M. Khalajib aDepartment of Electrical & Computer Systems Engineering, PO Box 35, Monash University, Victoria 3800 bCentre of Renewable Energy Research and Application, North Amir Abad, Tehran/Iran Abstract This paper presents the potential for wind and solar energy in Iran and shows how much electric energy is now produced by renewable power plants compared to steam and gas. The importance of renewable energy effects on Iran’s environment and economy is also discussed and the issue of the contribution of renewable energy for producing electricity in the future will be shown. Also this paper highlights the ability of Iran to manufacture the components of the wind turbine and solar system locally, and its effect on the price of wind turbine and solar energy. Key Words: Renewable Energy, Wind Turbine, Solar Energy 1. INTRODUCTION 2. RENEWABLE ENERGY MOTIVATION IN IRAN Iran is known as the second largest oil production member in Organization of Petrol Export Country (OPEC) with The necessity of renewable energy in Iran can be categorized production near 3.5 million barrel oil per day and accounts in two main issues: a) Environmental pollution and b) More for roughly 5% of global oil outputs. Also, Iran contains an oil and gas export. estimated 812 Trillion Cubic Feet (TFC) in proven natural gas reserves, surpassed only by Russia in the world [1]. As mentioned before, the most important environmental problem that Iran faces is air pollution. Since 1980, carbon Electric power generation installed in Iran is about 32.5 Giga emission in Iran has increased 240% from 33.1 million Watts (GW) with more than 87% being from thermal natural metric tons to 79.4 million metric tons in 1998 [3] and is still gas fired power plant.
