Speaking to NIPNA, Behzad Mohaghegh said that the
petrochemical industry was a pioneer in the country's industrial development,
adding the synergy of the administration, parliament and the private sector is
key to increasing production capacity, export growth and completion of projects
under construction in the petrochemical industry.
He pointed to the issue of localization of
petrochemical equipment manufacturing, and added: "In the field of
petrochemicals, the capacity of domestic construction is higher than the
average in the petroleum industry and the factor of domestic manufacturing in petrochemical
projects is more than 80%.”
He further stressed the readiness of private sector
companies to join petrochemical projects of the country, adding Iranian firms
could supply energy-related equipment in a class unparalleled in the Middle
East.
