3 1. World Primary Energy Demand, Reference Scenario World energy demand expands by 45% between 2008 and 2030 an average rate of increase of 1.6% per year with coal accounting for more than a third of the overall rise Source: World Energy Outlook, 2008 Scenario Analysis for Energy Conservation and CO2 Reduction in Iran 2

4 1. Energy-related CO2 Emissions, Reference Scenario 97% of the projected increase in emissions between 2008 & 2030 comes from non-oecd countries three- quarters from China, India & the Middle East rise, Iron and steel production contributes most-around one-third- to the increase in industrial emissions, followed by non-metallic minerals, chemicals and petrochemicals production Source: World Energy Outlook, 2008 Scenario Analysis for Energy Conservation and CO2 Reduction in Iran 3

Key Results of Climate Policy Analysis 550 Policy Scenario Corresponds to a c.3 C global temperature rise Energy demand continues to expand, but fuel mix is markedly different CO2 price in OECD countries reaches $90/tonne in 2030 Additional investment equal to 0.25% of GDP 450 Policy Scenario Corresponds to a c.2 C global temperature rise Energy demand grows, but half as fast as in Reference Scenario Rapid deployment of lowcarbon technologies particularly CCS Big fall in non-oecd emissions CO2 price in 2030 reaches $180/tonne Additional investment equal to 0.6% of GDP Source: World Energy Outlook, 2008 Scenario Analysis for Energy Conservation and CO2 Reduction in Iran 8

20 3. Energy Policies and Energy Subsidies in Iran Although Iran does not have any comprehensive plan for energy, it has embarked some short run and medium run plans for energy production and consumption in different sectors: Heavy subsidization of energy use Meeting the OPEC production quota Development and utilization of Natural Gas Electrification of rural areas And now cutting the energy subsidies and.. Scenario Analysis for Energy Conservation and CO2 Reduction in Iran 19

21 3. Energy Policies and Energy Subsidies in Iran Iran s energy subsidies used to be one of the highest in the world. It ranged between 0.5 to 12 percent of GDP depending on different calculation method. The local officials use the strict version of subsidies that includes only the direct payments by government or a difference between marginal or average cost and the price paid by consumers. However, the agencies that report much higher estimates of subsidies include opportunity costs of energy products sales in the domestic market.

47 9. Conclusions Current energy trends of the world are obviously unsustainable, socially, environmentally and economically. To avoid "rapid and irreversible" climate change, we need a major decarbonisation of the world s energy system. Iran energy demand expands by 87.7% between 2005 and 2030, an average rate of increase of 2.6% per year, with natural gas accounting for the most rise by 3.5%, and Kerosene with the most decline by 4.6%. Energy intensity in Iran s industry sector is 4.6 times greater than the World average. Share of industry sector in Iran is 21%, while the World average is 30%. This implies that we have a long way to go in order to become an industrial country. Scenario Analysis for Energy Conservation and CO2 Reduction in Iran 46

48 9. Conclusions Rank of Iran in the world, with respect to CO2 emissions /GDP reconfirms the inefficient use of energy in different sectors Iran s energy subsidies are one of the highest in the world and has had counterproductive consequences on energy demand. It ranges between 0.5 to 12 percent of GDP depending on different calculation method. Iran energy demand in different sectors between 2005 and 2030, with process industries accounting for the most rise by an average rate of 3.6% per year, followed by 3.4% for residential and 2% for transportation. Iran energy demand in different scenarios between 2005 and 2030, by an average growth rate of 2.6% (BAU), 0.4% (efficiency), 2.4% (renewable) and 0.2% (combined) per year Should the combined scenario be followed, 45 percent reduction in CO2 emissions can be realized by Scenario Analysis for Energy Conservation and CO2 Reduction in Iran 47
