With huge reserves of natural gas, extensive petrochemical infrastructure and several decades of experience in the production of basic products, Iran has the capacity to establish its position in the world's new energy chain through the development of alternative fuels and energy carriers such as ammonia, LPG, LNG and methanol. These products are not only fuel, but also geo-energetic tools and added value creation engines.
