6 FAQs about [Green energy storage replacing fossil fuels Iran]

Are geothermal resources a sustainable resource in Iran?

Energy is mainly provided by fossil fuels that leads to high CO 2 emission. This study evaluates the energy consumption trend and potentials of more sustainable resources like geothermals in Iran. The formation of geothermals is tightly linked with geological prerequisites that are partly present within Iran.

Can geothermal energy replace fossil fuels in Iran?

Based on the Iran’s energy consumption, potential of the geothermal resource are also appraised. Regarding the energy consumption trend in Iran, it is tried here to present a review to assess the potential of substituting a part of fossil fuels with a green source of energy.

Does Iran give subsidies to fossil fuels?

It can be barely seen Iran is giving considerable amount of subsidies to fossil fuels. Compared to Iran, Turkey is giving far less subsidies to fossil fuels (less than 1 billion US dollars). Based on provided data by International Energy Agency, Turkey does not fall within the first 25 five countries that are paying subsidies to fossil fuels.

Does Iran need a natural gas system?

As Iran’s energy system is currently dominated by domestic natural gas usage, SNG can logically play a significant role in addressing future energy demand. The system total annual cost and capex increased from 15 to 119 b€ and from 167 to 1150 b€, respectively.

Why is Iran pursuing renewable and sustainable options?

It is logical that fossil fuels have better and more valuable applications than heating and lighting. Therefore, Iran has acceptable and compelling incentives to pursue renewable and sustainable options, although it remains a leading exporter of crude oil and is exploring and developing new oil fields.

Can geothermal and solar energy be linked in Iran?

Linking geothermals and solar energy in Iran can increase the efficiency and energy output. Regarding carried out analyses for the 100% renewable energy systems (Mason et al. 2010 ), it is expected to put more trust on geothermal (besides solar) potentials of Iran.
