Iran's
entry into the global energy market will enable the world's consumers
to reduce their reliance on carbon energy, and transition to supplies
of cleaner gas in the drive towards a low-carbon economy, Nicolo
Sartori, a Senior Research fellow in the Energy Program at the
Istituto Affari Internazionali, told Radio Sputnik on Tuesday.
Russia
and Iran are the two countries in the world with the most gas
resources, and their cooperation in tapping into those resources will
be an important step towards meeting the world's energy needs after
sanctions are fully lifted, said Sartori.
The
analyst believes that Iran will develop its LNG industry along
similar lines as neighboring Qatar, currently the biggest LNG
producer in the world, since the technology to ship the gas
represents a better option for countries in their position than
constructing a long pipeline across the region.
Iran's
entry into the energy market will naturally be accompanied by greater
political influence in the Middle East region and the Gulf in
particular, said the expert.
