During a visit to the Parsian Energy Zone and discussions with
petrochemical project managers, Morteza Shahmirzaei, the Deputy Minister of Petroleum
and CEO of the National Petrochemical Company, expressed satisfaction with the
progress of projects in the region but called for greater attention from
stakeholders to expedite project implementation.
"Although the progress of implementing projects in this region is
satisfactory, shareholders need to pay more attention to accelerating project
implementation processes," Shahmirzaei stated.
Highlighting the importance of utilizing the capacities of domestic
producers and contractors in the implementation of petrochemical projects in
the Parsian Energy Zone, he added, "It is essential to expedite the
operational process of power plant construction concurrently with connecting
this region to the national electricity grid in Asaluyeh."
Shahmirzaei emphasized that the presence of adequate infrastructure in
this area, including export docks, could pave the way for the development of
the petrochemical industry and increased exports in the country.
The reduction of flare gas emissions and effective carbon management
have become critical issues globally, especially in industries such as
petrochemicals, where significant emissions occur during production processes.
