The head of the Energy Commission of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, stating that one of the main areas of the commission's follow-up is the issue of increasing energy efficiency in industrial units, said: "Today, a significant part of industries operate with old and energy-intensive equipment, therefore, the Ministry of Energy is expected to advance the programs for modernizing production lines and upgrading technology more quickly."

The purpose of launching this unit is to produce normal hexane with a purity of 52 or 85 percent, free of aromatics and sulfur, with a capacity of 2,000 barrels per day.

With the launch of the CCR (gasoline production) unit of the Tehran Refinery, with 80% progress, 22% of the refinery's gasoline capacity will be added and 1.5 million liters will be added to the country's gasoline production capacity. In addition to all the gasoline produced, the refinery will be upgraded to the Euro 5 standard.

A member of the Energy Commission of the Islamic Consultative Assembly stated that to partially solve the energy imbalance, biofuels and electric vehicles should be used in addition to gasoline and CNG, adding: "We can manage part of the fuel imbalance by using alternative fuels and developing electric public transportation."

The simultaneous separation and transfer of the two oil dock loading arms and the preparation and connection of export crude oil loading hoses at the floating terminal (SBM) in the Lavan operational area were successfully completed without incident.

A member of the Energy Commission of the Islamic Consultative Assembly said: "We must reduce the country's dependence on gasoline by diversifying the energy portfolio and using alternative fuels."

The government spokesman, in a note referring to enemy attacks on oil facilities and refineries, emphasized that the revision of the gasoline quota was carried out within the framework of managing the conditions of the imposed war and protecting the country's energy security, and the subsidized quota of 60 liters at a rate of 1,500 tomans for private cars remained unchanged.

The head of the 12th refinery of the South Pars Gas Complex announced the start of an eight-day overhaul operation of the refinery and said: "This project is being implemented by fully utilizing the capabilities of domestic experts, equipment, and Iranian-made goods, and by adhering to the highest safety and technical standards, with the aim of improving equipment reliability, increasing process efficiency, and ensuring the continuity of the country's sustainable gas production."

A member of the Energy Commission of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, while appreciating and supporting the Ministry of Oil's move to make CNG fuel free for vehicles, said: "This move will help reduce gasoline consumption, prevent the import of a significant portion of the fuel needed for transportation, and ultimately reduce the outflow of foreign exchange from the country."

While the country's gasoline production has reached 121 million liters per day, its consumption is 135 million liters per day.
