Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) grants a Japanese expert on “Reduction of Greenhouse gases (GHGs) of Thermal Power Plant” from February 11, 2008 for 28 days to the Ministry of Energy (MOE).

Inefficient systems that are currently used in some of the thermal power plants in Iran is one of the main factors for discharging of destructive gases like CO2 as one of the main causes for “Greenhouse Effect”. This effect will be hazardously leaded to global warming.
JICA has implemented the study on “Evaluation of Environmental Impact of Tabriz and Isfahan thermal power plants in 1995 through 1999, and has executed Energy Conservation Project and established the National Training Center for Energy Management (NTCEM) in Tabriz with collaboration with the Ministry of Energy in 2002 through 2007.
To introduce the Japanese advanced energy conservation technologies and methodologies to MOE as well as proposing the ideas for reduction, capture, and storage the GHGs at Tabriz and Isfahan power plants have been defined among the activities of the JICA expert who will be dispatched to Iran based on the request by the Ministry of Energy.
It is reminded that JICA is a Japanese governmental organization whose main role is to distribute Japan’s Overseas Development Assistance to developing countries. JICA has more than 100 overseas offices all over the world and has been active in Iran for last several decades.
