Water crisis in Iran: A system dynamics approach on water, energy
Water scarcity is a highly complex, multifaceted and dynamic issue, which has become a severe global challenge. Water scarcity is a hyperconnected phenomenon and thus should be studied through nexus approach, however current water-energy-food (WEF) nexus underrepresents the impacts of land use change and climate change on water scarcity.
Climate change in Iran
Iran is a significant contributor of GHGs due to its use and production of oil and natural gas. These resources not only serve the domestic energy needs but also serve as a significant portion of the country''s exports. [8] As Iran has not ratified the Paris Agreement it does not publish GHG emission figures and has not pledged any reduction, [9] but 2022 emissions are estimated at
The role of hydrogen and fuel cells in the global energy system
Hydrogen technologies have experienced cycles of excessive expectations followed by disillusion. Nonetheless, a growing body of evidence suggests these technologies form an attractive option for the deep decarbonisation of global energy systems, and that recent improvements in their cost and performance poin
Energy transition in petroleum rich nations: Case study of Iran
The details of energy consumption in the Iran energy system for 2016 and prediction for 2030 using the BAU scheme and its AAGRs are shown in Table 2. This scenario is used to find the future Iran energy system''s characteristics in 2030 based on the existing energy system. The result of this scenario is used to compare with other scenarios'' results.

It has imposed significant financial burden on the country and has led to considerable GHG emissions.Moreover, the country is confronting several challenges for harnessing alternative clean energy sources and
Global Energy Perspective 2024 | McKinsey
Increased energy demand and the continued role of fossil fuels in the energy system mean emissions could continue rising through 2025–35. Emissions have not yet peaked, and global CO 2 emissions from combustion and industrial processes are projected to increase until around 2025 under all our bottom-up scenarios. The scenarios begin to diverge toward
