Energy, economy and environment, 3Es tool for Green Economy

In recent years, the global financial crisis on the one side and the environmental challenges, especially the global warming and climate change on the other, have collectively faced the international community with major problems. Using fossil fuels as a major source of energy production has an important role in greenhouse gas emissions and global warming. This pattern has caused the natural resources depletion and wide range of environmental problems. In contrast, the concept of "Green Economy" attempts to find a way for solving the contradiction between the economic growth, the resources depletion and environmental challenges. This article exhibits an endeavor to evaluate the various sources of energy "availability" and "accessibility" with the Green Economy tools in mind, and proposes suitable potentials considered fit for Iran in coherence with Green Economy concept.
