Saeed Tavakoli announced at the signing ceremony of the National Gas and Education Memorandum of Understanding: 850 million cubic meters of gas will be injected into the network daily; the country's schools will become a model for optimizing energy consumption with high-efficiency and smart power plants.
Hassan Abbaszadeh, at the Strategic Council of Petrochemicals in the Special Economic Zone, emphasized the need to pay attention to local communities and the participation of complexes in the development of cultural, educational, and medical infrastructure, and considered social responsibility to be the focus of the balanced development of the petrochemical industry.
With the partial interruption of gas supply to Zagros Petrochemical Company, the company's second production unit was taken out of service on December 25, 2021, and its operations were suspended until the gas restrictions were lifted. At the same time, Mobin Energy, which provides utility services to the complex, announced that there had been a reduction in the consumption of some ancillary services, but this restriction will not have a significant impact on the company's EPS.
The Director of Assignment and Investor Services of the Petrochemical Special Economic Zone Organization announced 58 active projects in this zone and said: The annual production capacity of these projects reaches 7 million 96 thousand tons per year, which play an important role in the development of the country's petrochemical industry value chain.
The Director of Energy Consumption Optimization at the National Petrochemical Company announced that the petrochemical industry has succeeded in saving 1.7 billion cubic meters of natural gas in the past four years by implementing optimization projects, and said: "Achieving annual savings of more than 200 million cubic meters has also been targeted for this year."
The governor of Tehran, emphasizing that no diesel fuel is burned in this province, said: "There are about 4 million 200 thousand active motorcycles in the capital, more than 70 percent of which are over 20 years old and are mostly worn out and polluting."
During the cold months of the year, 120 million cubic meters of gas are burned in Tehran daily, which results in the production of 270,000 tons of smoke and the destruction of 400,000 tons of oxygen in the air. Incomplete combustion of gas has led to the release of toxic and deadly CO gas and various diseases and silent deaths.
Referring to the establishment of the Energy Optimization and Strategic Management Organization, the Minister of Oil said: "This new institution will operate in conjunction with the Fuel Consumption Optimization Organization, and the mission of the Ministry of Oil will remain the production and export of oil and gas."
Two decades after the introduction of CNG; the share of this clean fuel is still 11 percent. Nearly two decades have passed since the official introduction of CNG into the country's fuel basket, but this clean fuel has not been able to account for more than 11 percent of the transportation sector's fuel consumption; while official statistics indicate a huge saving of 110 billion liters of gasoline due to the use of CNG.
The memorandum of understanding to establish a joint venture to supply a 300-megawatt power plant between Iran's methanol giant and the country's largest utility company was signed at the Zagros Petrochemical Complex with the support of Dr. Shariatmadari, CEO of Persian Gulf Holding, and in the presence of Dr. Abbaszadeh, Deputy Minister of Oil and CEO of the National Petrochemical Company.
