Do the Iranian people consume a lot of gas?

According to the Mehr correspondent, the winter for us Iranians started early and will be late, and in November the power plants began and will probably continue due to lack of gas until late March.
Accordingly, the crisis management campaigns of many provinces have shut down all departments and training centers due to cold weather, and the National Gas Company and officials have assessed the current situation and the current situation is critical and costly. Joey Citizens' gas consumption and two -degree decline in temperature insist and accuse people of consuming gas several times as much as European, but do we really have a lot of gas consumption?

Hossein Ahmadi Kia Faculty of Energy Converting Isfahan University, pointing out that the following is a per capita consumption of Iran's natural gas with different regions of the world in year 2, indicating that Iranian gas consumption per capita is 1.5 times the global average and 4.3. It is equal to Europe, says: It should be noted that this chart or data that some officials use is the per capita consumption of the whole country, including household, power plant, industrial, etc. and should not be per capita consumption of domestic gas that relevant relevant He is with citizens, compared.

He said: International Energy Agency's data shows that Iran is ranked fifth in the per capita of home energy consumption after Russia, Finland, Canada and the United States.

Isfahan University of Isfahan University of Energy Conversion Mechanics said: Although the per capita consumption of Iranian gas is relatively high, this comparison has many drawbacks, first, comparing the two countries is not appropriate in terms of home energy consumption, because in which geographical area a country is not appropriate. It is located from the Earth and with what weather conditions. Second, construction standards and energy consumption regulations may vary.

He says: Industrialization of buildings, use of insulation walls and ceilings, multi -wall seamless windows, roof cover, paint and View Building in Europe and many parts of the world has had a significant impact on reducing heat loss and thus reducing energy consumption.

Ahmadi Kia continues: Unfortunately in Iran, these standards are weak and heavy materials are used and insulation of buildings is not mandatory, for example Iranian bricks weigh 5 % more weight than European bricks, and the wall is more thick, third, that the efficiency efficiency is. Heating systems in Iran are low.

He said that more than 5 % of Iranian buildings use gas heaters, 2 % of which are outdated and do not have energy labels and most of their heat is emitted through the chimney. Hermetic The new is more than 5 %, and unfortunately for years, home appliances, including gas heaters, have been banned.

Isfahan University of Isfahan University of Energy conversion mechanics added: So much of the country's gas consumption is wasted through gas heaters and people are unable to renovate them, but the most important factor in the difference between Iranian gas consumption and other countries, the variety of energy baskets. It is heating.

He pointed out that more than 2 percent of urban households and 5 percent of rural households in Iran benefit from natural gas, while many other countries, in addition to gas, gas, diesel and even coal and wood. They use their buildings to heat up, and even receive some of their heating energy from the sun or depth of the earth, so it is obvious that the per capita consumption of Iranian gas is higher than in other countries.

Ahmadi Kia noted: The above factors Al -Zakr The only reason for the lack of natural gas in Iran is not, of course, comparing Iran, which has the world's second -largest gas resources with Europe, which is the importer of gas.
