About Iran
Iran holds the world's second-largest gas reserves and fourth-largest oil reserves. Heavily subsidised domestic fuel prices drive very high energy intensity, and gas flaring is among the highest globally. Sanctions have limited access to efficient technology. Iran has not ratified the Paris Agreement and has no net-zero target.
Key Facts
- Among the top 3 countries for gas flaring volume
- Petrol costs under $0.03 per litre at official rates
- No net-zero target
