Iran’s Ministry of Energy has announced plans to gasify the Sulm complex in Parsin-Jugor, a move Israel’s Minister of Energy, Israel Katz, publicly confirmed to the Israeli public. Katz stated that the Israeli Ministry of Energy is aware of the Iranian initiative. The Sulm complex has been under consideration for gasification for an extended period, with developments pending a decision from former U.S.
President Donald Trump. Iranian state-owned company Tasnim reported that the complex’s construction has utilized electricity and oxygen, primarily for the petrochemical complex and the construction of the nuclear power plant itself. Despite these efforts, the gasification process within the complex has not yet commenced.
The Iranian company continues to work on providing electricity and supporting the ongoing construction of the power plant and the nuclear facility in Tehran. The announcement highlights ongoing energy projects within Iran and reflects the continued development of the Sulm complex, a project that has faced delays and dependent on international factors.
