Speaking at the Clean Environment Panel of
Petrochemical Units at the IPF International Conference on Tuesday, Jamshidi
highlighted that the oil industry accounts for 17% of the total carbon
emissions in the country, of which only 4% belongs to the petrochemical
industry.
Jamshidi also noted that the petrochemical
industry is taking steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve waste
management, citing a 29% reduction in waste production, a 24% increase in waste
recycling capacity, and a 27% reduction in temporary waste as some of the
achievements in the field of environmental protection.
He emphasized the importance of creating green
space in the petrochemical industry as a legal requirement and that
petrochemical companies and holdings will continue to participate in this
initiative.
Additionally, Jamshidi revealed that his
administration has planned several programs to ensure environmental safety,
industrial health, crisis management, passive defense, safety and firefighting,
and environmental protection for the year 1402.
The National Petrochemical Company's commitment
to reducing carbon emissions and improving environmental protection aligns with
the global push for sustainability and eco-friendliness in the oil and gas
industry.
