Hassan Abbaszadeh, deputy petroleum minister and managing director of
the company, issued the message on the occasion of National Energy Efficiency
and Optimization Day, framing it as an opportunity to reassess energy
consumption and resource management practices.
He said recent incidents affecting parts of the country’s oil and gas
infrastructure underscored the importance of efficiency, resilience, and smart
energy management, elevating the issue to a strategic priority.
Abbaszadeh added that Iran’s petrochemical industry views productivity
not as an option but as a structural necessity, particularly in maintaining
production stability, rebuilding capacity, and strengthening infrastructure.
He emphasized that progress in the sector depends on coordination,
innovation, technological development, consumption reform, and broader
participation across industrial and social stakeholders, while acknowledging
the role of professionals and workers in the energy value chain.
