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."
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.
On the eve of winter and increased gas restrictions, the electricity industry has announced that only 14 power plants in the country are allowed to use diesel fuel, and this year, low-sulfur fuel has been made available to boiler units; a move aimed at reducing environmental concerns and ensuring a stable supply of electricity during the cold days of the year.
The CEO of the National Iranian Gas Company said: "The amount of gas delivered to power plants in November and the early days of December was much higher than the agreed plan."
The CEO of Isfahan Oil Refining Company announced the implementation of the flare gas recovery project with a budget of more than 6.8 million euros and 520 billion rials, saying: This project has achieved 85% physical progress so far and will be operational by the end of 1404.
A new gas field called Toos has been discovered 40 kilometers from the Khangiran gas field.
According to data from the Statistical Center of Iran, the imbalance in energy carriers is clearly visible.
Natural gas consumption in the residential, commercial, and small industrial sectors reached about 2 billion 726 million cubic meters last week as air temperatures dropped, and the highest consumption was recorded on Wednesday with about 401 million cubic meters.
The CEO of the Central Iranian Oil Company announced: "In the first half of this year, the company was able to successfully implement its commitments in the field of gas production and gas storage in the Shurijeh and Sarajeh reservoirs."
The Director of Coordination and Supervision of Production at the National Iranian Gas Company announced that with the successful completion of major repairs to refineries and more gas storage than last year, a daily injection capacity of 850 to 860 million cubic meters of gas has been provided to the national network, and a stable supply of winter fuel for the country has been guaranteed.
