TEHRAN, Feb. 15 (NIPNA) — Hassan Abbaszadeh, deputy oil minister and CEO of the National Petrochemical Company, said optimizing fuel consumption in power plants can improve feedstock availability for petrochemical companies, raise efficiency, and reduce emissions.


Speaking at the signing of an energy efficiency MoU at the “Energy Cycle” exhibition, Abbaszadeh highlighted that while Iran’s electricity generation relies heavily on hydrocarbons, inefficiencies in power plants reduce the availability of energy that could otherwise be used in petrochemical production.

He noted that enhancing energy efficiency and allocating feedstock effectively could increase economic output, create jobs, and improve national value-added in the petrochemical sector.
