Comparing the generation of electricity from renewable and non-renewable energy sources in Iran and the world: now and future

Renewable energy, particularly solar power, offers significant economic and environmental advantages over fossil fuels, with the Lut Desert in Iran emerging as a high-potential site for large-scale electricity generation. This study compares the cost-effectiveness of renewable versus non-renewable energy sources globally, emphasizing Iran's vast untapped solar potential. By analyzing production costs, remaining fossil fuel reserves, and broader impacts on economy, environment, and public health, researchers highlight the urgent need to transition toward sustainable energy solutions. The findings underscore the Lut Desert as a strategic location for harnessing solar energy, aligning with global trends toward decarbonization.
