Indeed, energy is deeply embedded in each component of mankind development: economic, social and environmental ones. Energy is a crucial element for functioning of modern society and any break down in the energy sector, which affects energy supply, has negative impacts on all other economic sectors and spheres of human activity. Iran is an energy superpower, which has the fourth largest oil reserves and the second largest natural gas reserves in the world. Energy consumption in Iran is significantly higher than international standards and continues to grow. Iran has the third highest level of consumption of natural gas in the world and its domestic consumption is projected to grow by making Iran the largest natural gas consumer in the world. Despite abundance of fossil fuels, Iran is considering deployment of renewable energies sources and these plans are driving energy transition in the country. date: 2016-10 date_type: published iiasa_bibref: Proceedings of Extended Abstracts creators_browse_id: 161 full_text_status: public pres_type: paper pagerange: 115-116 event_title: IDRiM 2016 7th International Conference on Integrated Disaster Risk Management Disasters and Development: Towards a Risk Aware Society event_location: Isfahan, Islamic Republic of Iran event_dates: October 1-3, 2016 event_type: conference refereed: TRUE coversheets_dirty: FALSE fp7_type: info:eu-repo/semantics/conferenceObject citation: Yazdanpanah, M. & Komendantova, N.
