It is the world's second largest producer of uranium, third largest producer of hydro-electricity, fourth largest natural gas producer, and the fifth largest in producer of crude oil.
The United States is Canada's major trade market for energy products and services. Canada sends around 98% of its total energy exports to the United States, meaning that Canada is the largest supplier of energy exports to the world's largest economy. Canada also exports significant amounts of uranium and coal to Asia, Europe and Latin America.

Canada's abundance of natural resources is reflected in their continued importance in the economy of Canada. Major resource-based industries are fisheries, forestry, agriculture, petroleum products and mining.

Fossil fuels are a more recently developed resource in Canada, with oil and gas being extracted from deposits in the Western Canadian Sedimentary Basin since the mid 1900s. While Canada's crude oil deposits are fewer, technological developments in recent decades have opened up oil production in Alberta's Oil Sands to the point where Canada now has some of the largest reserves of oil in the world. In other forms, Canadian industry has a long history of extracting large coal and natural gas reserves.

In Canada, because of their large landmass and diversified geography, there are diverse and reliable renewable and non-renewable energy sources: oil, natural gas, hydroelectricity, coal, nuclear (uranium), solar, wind, tidal and biomass. Canada is the fifth largest energy producer in the world and the eighth largest consumer of energy.

Canada is a world leader in the production and use of renewable energy.
The most innovative companies in the business sector have already recognized the economic potential of renewable energy. According to Clean Energy Canada, a record $367 billion (U.S.) was invested last year in renewable power, which is almost double the amount invested in fossil fuels. Environmental sustainability is not counter to economic growth — in fact, it is essential to growth over the long term.
Already more people in Canada are employed by clean-energy sector jobs, almost 24,000, than the oil sands, about 22,000 at its peak.

In North America, Canada, is the largest producer of Nuclear energy, and hydropower, and comes in second place in the production of, Oil, Wind, Gas, Coal, and solar energy.

Natural gas and petroleum derivatives such as gasoline and fuel oil power traditional thermal power plants that satisfy around 98 percent of Iran’s total energy demand. The remaining two percent comes from a combination of hydropower, nuclear, biofuels and other renewable sources.

Canada, with its large landmass and diversified geography, has substantial renewable resources that can be used to produce energy.

Being a world leader in Renewable energy sources, it currently provides about 18.9 per cent of Canada’s total primary energy supply.

Canada produces 10 per cent of the world's hydro power, so you might think we could easily power ourselves with 100-per-cent renewable energy.

The Sustainable Canada Dialogues proposed evidence-based climate solutions from more than 60 scholars from across the country. It found that Canada already produces more than 70 per cent of its electricity from low-carbon emissions sources and it is well within reach to have 100 per cent low carbon electricity by 2035. This is due to existing hydro assets and abundant potential to expand wind and solar energy subject to assessment of social and environmental impacts.

When President Barack Obama introduced penalties for selling petrol to Iran and imports fell by 75%, Iran responded by developing its own refining and producing what is today the major cause of its deadly air pollution. Reports suggest that Iran’s petrol contains ten times the level of contaminants of imported petrol and its diesel 800 times the international standard for sulphur.

For one, Iran’s wealth of hydrocarbons has led the government to heavily subsidise fuels for individual energy consumption. At around 32 cents per litre, the price of gasoline is near that of a bottle of mineral water in Iran, and at just 4.5 cents per kilowatt of electricity, citizens pay far below the global average.

Reducing domestic fuel use will allow the government to ease its costly subsidies while simultaneously meeting growing electrical demand through more sustainable and cost-effective R.E. sources.

Technology and Policy Options for a Low-Emission Energy System in Canadais an up-to-date, accessible review of options for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and moving Canada toward a low-emission future.
Overall the Panel acknowledged that the technologies to move toward a low-emission energy system, and the policies that promote the use of those technologies, already exist, are well-understood, and are constantly improving.

Canada could achieve major emission reductions with the adoption of commercially available technologies.

Low-emission electricity is the foundation for low-emission energy systems.

A transition to a low-emission energy system is achievable with the right combination of stringent and flexible policies.

There is an urgent need for Canada to move beyond extracting natural resources and capitalize on the opportunities presented by the knowledge-based economy.
Canadians appear torn between a rising environmental ethic and deep anxieties about the economy.
Reports that identify and quantify energy saving opportunities are published on a regular basis. These studies are useful for power system planning, and to guide environmental policies.
Energy conservation is generally seen as a reduction in level of output or service by deliberately using less energy. Often this means simply modifying usage to reduce waste.

Hydroelectric power emerged as a renewable alternative in Iran in the 1950s. Iran, unlike most Middle Eastern states, is home to a vast network of rivers that allowed the country to rapidly scale its hydroelectric infrastructure until the early 2000s. Recent widespread droughts, however, have, greatly reduced Iran’s hydroelectric capacity. Once contributing 14 percent of Iran’s base load energy supply, hydroelectric sources have been reduced to less than 5 percent, as river levels continue to fall.

the country is pursuing projects to construct more nuclear reactors as part of efforts to increase its reliance on renewable energy sources as it has an advantageous topography for renewables.
Under such a policy, Iran has in the past years taken measures to increase power capacity via sources such as wind, solar and geothermal. Projects to produce 600 MW of electricity through wind and biomass and the construction of a 50-MW geothermal power plant in the northwest of the country are among these measures.

Iran has maintained a nuclear energy program dating back to the 1970s. ran has also begun development on the Middle East’s first geothermal power plant. This “pilot” station in the northwest Iranian province of Ardabil is expected to have an installed capacity of 50 MW. Because of its placement in the north of Iran, where infrastructure is underdeveloped and demand for electricity outpaces supply, the impact of the plant is expected to be immediate.

Iran ranks second in the world in natural gas reserves and fourth in proven crude oil reserves. Economic activity and government revenues still depend to a large extent on oil revenues and therefore remain volatile.
Poverty is estimated to have fallen from 13.1 percent to 8.1 percent between 2009 and 2013 so energy consumption has increased.
Iran now plans on exporting more fuel to increase their revenue (since they still have a lot in abundance after exporting) and invest and increase their reliance on renewable sources.

50% of the government revenue comes from the tertiary sector while the primary sector generates only 9%. Gasoline is said to sell at the price of a bottle of mineral water which makes it cheap as well as influences the culture. The population's reliance and consumption on fuel naturally increases because of the ease of availability.
