The national gas grid will be completed in three years after which the entire country will have access to the network by 2023, managing director of Iran Gas Company said at the weekend.
“Gas meets 70% of the country’s energy need and extending gas network is one of the strengths of the gas industry as it helps transfer energy from refineries in remote areas to urban and rural areas,” the Oil Ministry news website Shana quoted Hassan Montazer-Torbati as saying.
Data released by the National Iranian Gas Company shows 260 billion cubic meters of gas can be supplied across the country annually making Iran the fourth largest gas grid in the world after the US, Russia and Canada.
