The petrochemical industry is seeking to reduce gas consumption in other sectors and free up more gas resource capacity for sustained production by implementing energy consumption optimization projects at its complexes. This action can contribute to improving the country's economic situation and also meet the production needs of the mentioned industry.
Details of the Energy Consumption Optimization Program
Petrochemicals have identified weaknesses and unnecessary gas consumption in production processes and have taken steps to design and implement optimization projects. These projects include the use of new technologies and improvements to existing systems, which can significantly save gas consumption. For example, it is estimated that by implementing these projects, gas consumption in some complexes could be reduced by up to 20 percent.

Economic Results and Consequences
Reducing gas consumption in the petrochemical industry will not only help free up more capacity for other sectors but could also lead to a decrease in the country's dependence on natural gas imports. Estimates suggest that by implementing these projects, around 50 million cubic meters of gas per day could be freed up for other industries and household uses. This action will not only help improve the country's economic conditions but could also lead to an increase in the export of petrochemical products and an increase in foreign exchange revenues.
Additionally, reducing gas consumption in petrochemicals will also have positive environmental effects. Reducing pollutant emissions and improving air quality will be among the benefits of these projects. For this reason, the government and the Ministry of Oil also support these projects and are seeking to provide the necessary facilities and incentives for petrochemicals.
