EU seeks to develop renewable energy sources Total production 104 mln tons of oilequivalent (toe) 2003 Total production192 mln tons of oil equivalent (toe) 2013, 84.4%, more than in 2003 Germany17.5% ( toe)2013 Italy12.2% ( toe)2013 France12% ( toe)2013 Sweden8.7% ( toe)2013 Renewable energy statistics, Primary production, explained/index.php/Renewable_energy_statisticshttp://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics- explained/index.php/Renewable_energy_statistics
Iran's energy exports 1.Iran's hydrocarbon energy exports: Turkey 2.New alternatives of Iran's hydrocarbon energy exports: Azerbaijan 3.New alternatives of Iran's hydrocarbon energy exports: Armenia
Conclusion 1.South Caucasus hydrocarbon energy resources are important for diversification of Europe energy demands. 2.TANAP project would be controversial for Iran and Russia. 3.South Caucasus can become transit zone for exporting Iranian gas. 4.The most appropriate opportunity for the exporting Iranian gas and oil can be Armenia and Georgia. 5.The main barrier to the energy cooperation between Armenia and Iran can be Russia. 6.Armenia should not lose time in the issue of Iran-Armenia energy cooperation, Otherwise even not desired energy alternative projects for Iran can be realized and promote the blockade of Armenia.
