Syria | Critical Minerals and The Energy Transition
Learn about Syria''s energy challenges, including its reliance on oil and gas, and efforts towards energy diversification and critical mineral exploration for regional energy security.
Energy in Syria is mostly based on oil and gas. Some energy infrastructure was damaged by the Syrian civil war. There is high reliance on fossil fuels for energy in Syria, and electricity demand is projected to increase by 2030, especially for industry activity such as automation.
