The head of the country’s materials and energy research institute announced the implementation of minor changes in the advanced materials document and said: these changes have been sent to the president’s medical doctor to be notified after approval.
According to Isna, Dr. Hamid Omidre, today at the opening of the 14th International Conference on Materials Engineering and Metallurgy (IMAT2025), in the conference hall of the Faculty of Metallurgy and Materials, University of Tehran, referring to the theme of this year’s conference as circular economy, said: Human civilization is somehow shaped by material science, that is, different versions of materials play a role in it.
He continued: Perhaps in recent years, development indicators have changed due to the issues of sustainable development, but one of the biggest challenges we face in the future is the issue of circular economy.
The head of the country’s Materials and Energy Research Institute noted: “Maybe in the past we thought of making materials with proper strength or proper properties, but now we are designing alloys, and in the current world, we are looking for the alloy, metal, polymer, or ceramic that we design to be able to enter into regeneration, regeneration, and recirculation, which is the circular economy.”
Dr. Omidhar, stating that today demarcation has become less important, further clarified: For this issue, the designers of the country’s science and technology structures in the Ministry of Ataf should have a review, and in the industry, a circular economy should be seen, in which case the issue of materials and metallurgy will be strengthened.
Referring to the developments in the world in the field of artificial intelligence, the production of new materials, the existence of algorithms in the field of material genome, he said: in the field of metallurgy and materials, the regeneration of materials and the return of these materials to the production system must be specified. Topics such as low-carbon economy are close to this issue.
The head of the country’s materials and energy research institute stated: In the 10th chapter of the seventh development plan, reaching the level of 55 million tons of steel per year is among the goals of the program, and our production rate is 30 million tons per year. One of the topics discussed in the country is the issue of gas. Currently, we have about 40 kilometers of gas pipelines in the country, which ranks us fifth in the world.
Saying that the production of steel in the country is based on natural gas, Dr. Omidred added: How should one act to increase the production of steel by 20 million tons? Did it go to natural gas or to hydrogen and green steel? Currently, for each ton of steel produced, large amounts of carbon dioxide enter the environment. If hydrogen production is through electrolyte, we need to produce electricity.
Emphasizing the need for a balanced development, he said: In other words, for the development of the petrochemical industry, we need the development of gas, transportation, etc.
The head of the country’s Materials and Energy Research Institute listed the knowledge-based economy as one of the current issues of the world and added: In every economic activity, the cultural, economic, and social effects of the society affected by that economic activity should be taken into account.
The 14th International Conference on Materials Engineering and Metallurgy (IMAT2025) is being held on December 25 and 26 at the Faculty of Materials Engineering and Metallurgy of Tehran University.
