ESM273: Turkey Energy & Environment Review - Synthesis Report

Core Content

This report is part of the Joint UNDP/World Bank Energy Sector Management Assistance Programme (ESMAP), a global initiative aimed at promoting energy's role in poverty reduction and economic growth in an environmentally responsible manner. It focuses on Turkey's energy and environment sectors, analyzing key issues and providing recommendations for sustainable development in line with international standards and EU accession requirements.

Main Objectives

• To provide policy makers with critical information to evaluate energy and environment issues and assess alternative policy options.
• To summarize the results of ten studies conducted as part of the Energy & Environment Review between December 2000 and June 2002.
• To discuss the implications of these findings for Turkey's energy and environment sectors.

Key Areas of Focus

1. Access to Modern Energy

• ESMAP aims to improve access to modern energy for the poorest populations.
• The program supports sustainable energy markets and environmentally responsible practices.

2. Energy Sector Liberalization

• The electricity market has been liberalized, allowing large consumers to choose their own suppliers.
• The gas market is expected to follow, opening to competition.
• The Turkish Electricity Transmission Corporation (Iletim) and MENR are now responsible for preparing energy sector plans that guide policy and private sector investment.

3. Environmental Regulations and EU Compliance

• Turkey is working towards EU membership and has begun aligning its regulations with the EU's "acquis communautaire."
• The report highlights the need for Turkey to adopt EU standards in areas such as air quality, emissions control, and environmental impact assessments.

Key Issues and Findings

1. Air Quality and Emissions

• Air quality in Turkey has improved significantly since the late 1980s and early 1990s, particularly in cities like Istanbul.
• SO₂ and particulate matter levels have generally decreased, though some cities still face challenges.
• EU standards require daily average limits of 125 µg/m³ for SO₂ and annual average limits of 50 µg/m³ for particulate matter, with these limits set to take effect by 2005.

2. Petroleum Product Quality

• There is a shift towards unleaded gasoline due to the increasing use of catalytic converters.
• Turkey's gasoline standards are aligned with pre-2000 EU standards, and leaded gasoline will be phased out by 2005.
• The cost of eliminating leaded gasoline is relatively low (around US$5–6 million), but the health benefits are significant.

3. Energy Efficiency and Demand Management

• Energy efficiency measures (DSM) are important for reducing final energy consumption and emissions.
• The report emphasizes the role of demand-side management in achieving sustainable energy use.

4. Cogeneration and Renewable Energy

• Cogeneration, which is highly efficient and reduces emissions, is a priority for Turkey.
• The potential for renewable energy is also explored, with a focus on landfill gas as a source of energy.

5. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Reduction Strategies

• Turkey's GHG emissions are expected to rise due to economic growth, but strategies such as clean coal technologies, emission trading, and renewable energy are proposed to mitigate these.
• The report includes a cost-effectiveness analysis of various GHG abatement strategies.

6. Fuel Markets and Energy Security

• The refineries are upgrading to meet international standards, which will improve petroleum product quality.
• The gas market is expected to open to competition, increasing natural gas demand but also import dependence.

7. Transmission & Distribution Losses

• A loss reduction program is being implemented to improve the efficiency of the Transmission & Distribution (T&D) system.
• Loss rates are a major concern, and reducing them is crucial for both economic and environmental sustainability.

Key Recommendations

• Implement clean coal technologies and emission controls to meet EU air quality standards.
• Continue the phase-out of leaded gasoline and promote the use of unleaded gasoline.
• Strengthen environmental regulations and ensure they are consistent with EU standards.
• Develop renewable energy and landfill gas projects to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
• Promote energy efficiency and demand-side management to reduce energy consumption and emissions.
• Improve Transmission & Distribution (T&D) efficiency to reduce losses and enhance energy security.

Funding and Support

• The Energy & Environment Review was funded by the Japan Staff and Consultant Trust Fund (JSCTF) and ESMAP.
• A Joint Venture of Chubu Electric Power Co., Inc. and UNICO International Corp. led the project in association with various consulting organizations and individual consultants.

Acknowledgements

• The study team acknowledges the support from the Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources (MENR), Ministry of Environment (MoE), and TEAS (now Iletim).
• Special thanks to Dr. Robin Bates and Stratos Tavoulareas for their contributions to the project.
• The Workshop held in Ankara on June 19–20, 2002, played a key role in shaping the report.

Conclusion

The Turkey Energy & Environment Review provides a comprehensive analysis of the challenges and opportunities in Turkey's energy and environment sectors. It emphasizes the importance of international standards, EU accession, and sustainable development. The report highlights the need for policy coherence, technological upgrades, and market reforms to ensure that Turkey's energy sector meets environmental goals while supporting economic growth.
