Iran’s fourteenth government and energy imbalance crisis

According to Energy Press report, Irfan Afazeli, regarding the issue of energy imbalance and the priority of the 14th government to resolve this situation, stated: In order to reduce the steep growth of the country’s energy imbalance, especially the gas imbalance, the government’s priority should be directed to the two areas of production and consumption. New in the field of production should seek to attract investment to participate in the pressure increase plan in South Pars, which supplies 70% of the country’s gas. In this area, we should seek to invest in the exploration and development of new gas fields, especially the gas fields discovered in the northeast of the country. .

solving gas imbalance; From investment to storage

He added: We also need to increase the storage capacity of natural gas because currently the storage capacity of natural gas in our country is very low compared to the world average, and this is due to the fact that the imbalance between production and consumption in our country is seasonal. It is important. Regarding the discussion of optimizing and reducing energy consumption, it is very important to pay special attention to increasing the efficiency of gas-burning equipment and appliances, such as the new government considering the plan of gas heaters and replacing worn-out gas heaters with grade A gas heaters, and by attracting investments in are currently available and have the possibility to replace 21 million grade F and G gas heaters in the country with grade A gas heaters and by attracting investments that are currently available and have the possibility to replace 21 million F and G grade gas heater in the country with A.

How to increase gasoline production?

The Secretary General of the Oil Industry Federation pointed out that several things are important in the matter of energy carriers, one of which is the quality improvement and improvement of refineries, the refineries must be qualitatively improved and improved so that they can produce more valuable products and increase the country’s gasoline production capacity. slow and this requires an increase in the Nelson factor or complexity in the refineries, obviously, currently 38% of the production of refineries in the country is gasoline and the other part of the input to the refinery is converted into diesel and lower value products such as bitumen, vacuum bottom and oil furnace, which is It requires improving and improving the quality of refineries.

We can increase the consumption of gasoline to 60 million liters per day

He continued: Also, the need to pay attention to replacing worn-out cars and importing cars with current standards and lower consumption is an issue that has been brought to attention many times, and it has been said that if cars are updated and control consumption by increasing efficiency, it will definitely consume 118 million liters instead of 118 million liters. We will consume a maximum of 60 million liters of gasoline daily, and most of the gasoline produced in the country’s refineries will be able to be saved and exported, and this can reduce our need to import fuel in the winter season for electricity generation, as well as the import of any fuel. In the past, a significant amount of fuel was imported into the country, which could be solved if the refinery production process and also the condition of the car were improved, and it could also generate currency.
