Potentiometry of wind, solar and geothermal energy resources and their future perspectives in Iran

As a leading exporter and consumer of fossil fuels, it is also attempting to use renewable energy as part of its energy mix toward energy security and sustainability in Iran. Due to the disproportionate rise of GHGs in recent decades, global warming and climate change have necessitated the adoption of suitable measures. Concerning this, the Paris Agreement, which seeks to diminish global GHG emissions, was ratified in 2015 by the UNFCCC to impede the temperature rise. As a signatory to the contract, Iran has pledged to lower its GHG emissions by 2030. The power sector stands out as the primary source of these gas emissions. This study provides a meta-analysis of renewable landscape energies in Iran. In order to do this effectively, the amount of wind, solar, geothermal energy in Iran are identified and estimated. In this paper, the types of renewable energy used in electricity generation in Iran have been studied. Iran also has a much greater potential for utilizing renewable energy. By 2022, Iran has a potential of 43,000 MW use of renewable energies. However, the capacity of renewable power stations constructed in Iran is 1300 MW. Different regions of Iran have high wind, solar and geothermal energy potential, which has not been used enough to meet electricity needs.
