Why it matters:
Generating energy that produces no greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels and reduces certain types of air pollution is crucial. Therefore, Iran held the 9th International Conference on Renewable Energy to emphasize its importance and explore energy-saving methods.
The big picture:
Renewable energy, derived from rapidly replenished natural sources like sunlight and wind, is abundant. In contrast, fossil fuels (coal, oil, and gas) are finite resources that require millions of years to form and release harmful greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide when burned.
What he's saying:
Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf said, "Imbalance, inequality, and trading raw materials are among the main problems in energy."
He added:" Iran tries to pave the ground for foreign investors to invest in the country, especially in the field of energy."
