The head of the Economic Commission of the Islamic Council of Deputies emphasized the necessity of conserving fuel consumption and said: The conditions of the country require that the model of resistant economy be implemented in many sectors, including fuel and energy.
In a situation where experts and authorities assess the reform of energy and fuel consumption as an unavoidable necessity, it seems that no decision has been made to implement price reforms at the current stage, and policymakers are focusing on non-price policies in the fuel and gasoline sector, with a new phase of government policies coming into effect from June 1st.
The CEO of the National Petroleum Distribution and Refining Company announced the implementation of a pilot project for emergency card tagging at fuel stations in Tehran.
The spokesperson for the Energy Commission of the Islamic Council of Experts, referring to the necessity of implementing non-price policies in the Seventh Development Plan and annual budget laws aimed at managing consumption, emphasized: The proper implementation of these policies, which are consistent with diversifying the country's fuel basket, enhancing fuel sales and consumption transparency, preventing fuel smuggling, and ensuring fair distribution of fuel subsidies, will help eliminate existing imbalances in this sector.
The CEO of Pars Gas and Oil Company, during a visit to the damaged Pars Southern refineries in the imposed war, said: "Given the necessity of reviving refineries to assist in the optimal energy management of the country, this company has placed the reconstruction process on its agenda with all its capabilities."
The intelligent fuel system manager of the National Oil Products Distribution Company of Iran announced the registration of 150,000 requests for the immediate issuance of smart fuel cards during the imposed war, and said: With the continuous emphasis of the Ministry of Oil during this period, 4,000 smart fuel cards were produced daily with an immediate issuance device and delivered to people in one day so that the service process would not stop even in those difficult conditions.
In days when the country is embroiled in wartime conditions and parts of its energy infrastructure, including refineries and petrochemicals, have been damaged, fuel consumption management has become more important than ever. Experts believe that public participation in reducing gasoline consumption could play a significant role in preventing a fuel shortage crisis.
The deputy chairman of the Energy Commission of the Islamic Council of Deputies emphasized: It is estimated that about one-third of the total refining capacity of the Persian Gulf is now offline; this lost capacity is not limited to crude oil alone, but forms the backbone of global markets for gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel.
The spokesperson for the fuel station industry said: Increasing the fuel station fees is on the agenda.
During the meeting between the CEO of Pars Gas and Oil Company and the CEO of Iran's Organization for Industry Growth and Renewal, the progress of activities related to the reconstruction of Phase 14 of the South Pars Refinery, which has also continued during the Ramadan war, was reviewed, and decisions were made to accelerate the activities.
