Download or read book The Role of Energy Sector in Sustainable Development in Iran written by Zanyar Golabi and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Generally speaking, both supply and use of energy in Iran are unsustainable. The unsustainable energy supply and use coupled with an unreliable and unsecure energy system have striking and lasing impacts on economic, social and environmental development of Iran. Natural gas and oil have dominated the total production of energy sources (TPES) in Iran for the past 50 years. Natural gas has also dominated the total final consumption (TFC) since 1999. Other alternative resources have been playing marginal roles in Iran's development. The high share of fossil fuels in energy supply and use has striking social, economic and environmental consequences. Additionally, Iran's reliance on oil and gas resources makes the energy sector in Iran vulnerable and highly unsecure. In order to address these issues, I provide indicators of energy sustainability and analyze the trends of these indicators systematically. These indicators help policy makers as well as public and private sectors get a better understanding of major driving forces that affect energy sustainability, economic prosperity as well as social and environmental well-being. Based on these indicators, I explore the impacts of energy subsidies, innovation policies, technological advancement, renewable energy development, US sanctions, international cooperation, geopolitical instability, and many other factors on Iran's sustainable development. Based on an in depth analysis of current state of energy sector in Iran and the characteristics of a sustainable energy system, I propose strategies and policies that can result in a more sustainable energy sector which in turn contributes to the economic prosperity, social and environmental well-being and higher energy security.
Download or read book Energy Sector Diversification in Iran written by Shabnam Mirsaeedi-Farahani and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-11-25 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shabnam Mirsaeedi-Farahani analyzes Iran’s interests in diversifying its energy sector, specifically electricity generation and consumption, between 1990 and 2011. She examines the policy discussions in the Iranian Parliament as well as policy development and implementation with respect to the electricity sector. One of the geopolitically crucial areas for both Iran’s domestic development as well as its international influence has been its energy sector. The author assesses international policy pressures and domestic interests to evaluate the interplay of interests, actors, and strategies. While increasing domestic generation capacity, Iran has been able to further its regional interests and influences as well as to build a backbone for its industrialization endeavors.

Download or read book Perspectives on Iran s environmental policy process Issues and constraints written by Aghmashhadi, Amir Hedayati and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2018-12-18 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to the increase in environmental problems in Iran at the national and regional levels, it is crucial to establish sound and sustainable environmental policies. Further, it is also important to incorporate environmental considerations in the current policies being implemented in sectors such as the agriculture or energy sector. This paper applies the kaleidoscope model to understand the current policy process in Iran. Using this analysis and a literature review, we present a framework that can be applied to develop environmental policies. Studies show that the best instrument for environmental policymaking in Iran is to use the spatial planning with the double approach of activity and resource planning (based on power assessment and resource management, respectively). However, due to the environmental pressures on resources in Iran over the past decades, the current planning approach is not enough and needs to be completed in the form of resource planning.
Download or read book Global Energy Perspectives written by Nebojsa Nakicenovic and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998-10-15 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global energy needs are expanding substantially as populations grow and economies develop around the world. There is clear evidence that continued use of fossil fuels as the world's dominant energy supply is damaging the environment and causing changes in global climate patterns. People want higher levels of more efficient, cleaner, and less obtrusive energy services. How much of those needs will be met by fossil fuels, how much by alternative fuels, and how much by efficiency increases and expanded energy conservation is a wide open question. Global Energy Perspectives describes the results of a five-year joint study by the International Institute for Applied systems Analysis and the World Energy Council. It presents six long-term energy futures which lay out the alternatives among future fuels, technologies, efficiency gains, conservation patterns, and pollution levels, and pinpoints the key choices that are most likely to characterize the twenty-first century. The primary audience will include researchers, educators, policy makers in private and public sectors and other workers in the energy, technology, economics and environmental areas, but the book will appeal to anyone interested in the future of energy production as a prerequisite for human development.
