Iran, the record holder of gas consumption in the region

According to the exclusive report of Energy Press, gas is at the top of Iran’s energy deficit list and due to winter and cold weather, it stands out more than other sectors.
Gas has a high share in the energy portfolio of countries, but it plays the main role in Iran because Iran’s energy portfolio is not diverse. More than 75% of Iran’s energy portfolio is allocated to gas and about 98% of the country is supplied with gas.
It is safe to say that the main culprit of the gas deficit in Iran is the gas supply movement, which no government has dared to shut down.
If you want to know what harm the supply of gas to 98% of the country’s area has done to Iran, read this comparison of gas consumption in neighboring countries.
Iran, with a population of more than 87 million people, consumes 250 billion cubic meters of gas annually.
