Energy in Iran

Iran possesses significant energy reserves, holding the position of the world's third-largest in proved oil reserves and the second-largest in natural gas reserves as of 2021. At the conclusion of the same year, Iran's share comprised 24% of the oil reserves in the Middle East and 12% of the worldwide total.

In 2020, the Total Energy Supply (TES) in Iran was primarily sourced from oil and gas, with gas being the predominant contributor at 69% and oil at 29%. Nuclear power and renewable sources each accounted for 1% of the nation's TES.

Iran also has the ability to generate significant power from renewable resources; due to the nation's closeness to the equator, 90% of its land area could provide solar power for at least 300 days a year.

Oil in Iran is a major cause of air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
