TEHRAN, Jan 27 (NIPNA) – Iran’s National Petrochemical Company has linked its energy efficiency initiatives to environmental conservation, targeting the invasive Araujia sericifera plant in the Hyrcanian forests, officials said on Tuesday.


Ali Rabani, Director of Energy Efficiency at the National Petrochemical Company, described the initiative as part of the “Energy Pulse” campaign, which aims to reduce energy consumption by 10%. Households participating in the program earn points and entries into prize draws based on their energy savings and engagement in educational activities.

Rabani noted that the campaign has grown rapidly, with 262,000 households registered this year, up from 140,000 last year. The program incentivizes reductions in gas consumption across different consumer categories, rewarding sustained savings with additional prize opportunities.

As part of the campaign, the first batch of equipment to combat the invasive Araujia plant was donated to the NGO “Ideal Land,” supporting efforts to preserve the Hyrcanian forests. Rabani encouraged citizens, particularly in Gilan, Mazandaran, and Golestan provinces, to join the initiative via the website nabzenergy.ir to contribute to national energy savings and participate in the rewards program.

The initiative demonstrates how Iran’s petrochemical sector is integrating social and environmental responsibility with nationwide energy efficiency efforts.
