Hossein Mirafazli, an energy expert, says: If only 10 percent of intracity trips are shared, about two million liters of gasoline will be saved daily, which is equivalent to more than $700 million in annual savings for the Iranian economy.

Petrofarhang Holding, the economic arm of the Farhangian Reserve Fund, has been able to consolidate its position as one of the main players in Iran's petrochemical industry in recent years, focusing on methanol production and developing petrochemical projects, and has emerged from losses with significant growth in production and profitability.

Energy expert Hossein Mirafazli believes that the way out of the gas consumption crisis is to reduce dependence on gas and expand the use of electricity in home heating; a model that many developed countries in the world have adopted for years.
