Iran's energy sector review

Supplying liquid fuels to Iran's power plants decreased 2.5 times during last 45 days to 10 million liters per day. Director of the supply and distribution division at NIOPDC, Hossein Aghayan told Shana May 13 that during the last four days, Iran supplied 3 million liters of fuel oil as well as 7 million liters diesel to power plants respectively. During Iran’s last fiscal year, which ended March 20, liquid fuels burning in the power sector also increased dramatically. The country increased gas supply to power plants by 33.6 percent to about 49 billion cubic meters per annum (bcm/a) and decreased fuel oil and gasoline consumption by 32.6 percent to 28.1 million liters per day and 24.2 percent to 25.3 million liters per day in last fiscal year. Iran is to increase natural gas delivery to power plants to 57 bcm in current year. Iran reportedly increased gas production capacity by 100 mcm/d last year and wants to increase the volume in same pace during the current year. H...

Amid warnings that levels of global greenhouse gases are rising The World Bank released a report aimed at eliminating net CO2 emissions by the year 2100. Entitled the “Three Steps to a Zero-Carbon Future,” The World Bank published the report on May 11. According to the report, the net emissions is needed to reach zero by 2100 to stabilize climate change around the 2°C as the maximum acceptable amount of warming. The report states that the cumulative emissions of 3,000 gigatons of CO2 (GtCO2 ) would lead to a temperature increase of between 1.0°C and 2.5°C. In 2014, the total CO2 emission amount stalled at about 32 GT, unchanged from 2013, the International Energy Agency reported in mid-March. Carbon dioxide (CO2) shares 57 percent of total global greenhouse gas emissions, while the share of power plants in CO2 emission is very high. The World Banks report doesn't mention the details of each country's share in emission, but Iran has among high producing CO2 per ...
