CDM Opportunities in Iran

Iran with over 500million tonnes of annual CO2 emissions plus other GHGs, has great opportunities in using CDM to lower GHG emission and can play an important role in achiving the targets of Kyoto Protocol.
Recent studies shows excellent possibilities in Oil filds, Gas refineries and Petrochemical plants especially in Gas Flaring. Also there is hudge potencials is energy sector, for Hydro projects, Wind farms, supply side, distribution network, and demand side.
Potentials in Landfills, waste processing, coal mines and so on are still thirty for CDM.
Industrial sector which currently use subsidized energy, has great opportunities for energy efficiency and energy recovery projects.

Meanwhile because of some reasons, the CDM activities in Iran in past years were very slow and it shall be facilitated.
