Hassan Abbaszadeh, the
director of planning and development of the National Petrochemical Company,
told NIPNA: “The production capacity of petrochemical products in the country
will increase from the current 90 million tons to 95 million tons by the end of
the year with the inauguration of 6 new projects.”
Emphasizing on supporting
knowledge-based companies and domestic manufacturers, he said: "Sanctions
have lost their character and in the 26th Iran International Oil, Gas, Refining
and Petrochemical Exhibition, several memoranda of understanding on the path of
internalization of catalysts in the petrochemical industry have been signed. Fortunately,
80% of the catalysts required by the industry have been localized, and by the
end of the 13th administration, all catalysts in the Iranian
petrochemical industry will be localized by the Petrochemical Research and
Technology Company and knowledge-based companies.”
A member of the board of
directors of the National Petrochemical Company continued: "The focus of
this year's exhibition is on knowledge-based companies, and based on this, we
support knowledge-based companies."
