Summary of Turkey's Energy and Environment Issues and Options Paper

Core Content

This document provides an analysis of Turkey's energy and environment situation, focusing on the environmental impacts of the energy sector and options for mitigation. It is part of the Joint UNDP/World Bank Energy Sector Management Assistance Programme (ESMAP), which aims to support sustainable energy development in developing countries and transition economies.

Main Views and Key Information

Energy Resource Base

Turkey has a variety of conventional and renewable energy resources, including:

• Lignite: Most abundant domestic source, found in all regions, with proven reserves of 7,300 million tons.
• Hard coal: Proven reserves of 428 million tons, mainly in Zonguldak.
• Oil and Natural Gas: Limited reserves, with oil at 46.3 million tons and natural gas at 9.4 bcm.
• Hydropower: Significant potential, with 125 TWh of electricity generation capacity from large plants, currently only one-third of which is being used.
• Geothermal and Wind: Substantial potential, with geothermal at 35 GW and wind at 2.4 W/m² power density.
• Biomass: Used extensively in rural areas, contributing 25% of total primary energy production, though expected to decline.

Current Energy Demand and Supply

• Energy demand is growing rapidly due to economic and population expansion.
• In 1997, total primary energy supply (TPES) was 71.4 Mtoe, with oil accounting for 43%, coal (lignite and hard coal) for 29%, and natural gas for 13%.
• Primary energy production was 27.7 Mtoe, with coal (lignite and hard coal) contributing 50%, hydropower 12.5%, and biomass 25%.

Environmental Impacts

• Air Pollution: TSP and SO₂ levels have declined in some cities due to fuel substitution, but overall emissions are still increasing.
• GHG Emissions: CO₂ emissions have grown at an average annual rate of 4.3% since 1990, with Turkey not yet a Party to the UNFCCC.
• Transport Sector Emissions: Rapidly growing, contributing to lead, CO, and VOCs in the atmosphere.
• Other Impacts: Include deforestation, population displacement from large hydropower projects, and risks from accidents and waste disposal.

Options for Mitigation

1. Energy Efficiency

• Demand-Side Management (DSM): Reducing consumption through better management and awareness.
• Technical Efficiency: Improving power generation and reducing transmission and distribution losses.

2. Improved Technologies and Practices

• Clean Coal Technologies: Reducing emissions from coal-fired power plants.
• Improved Ash Disposal: Utilizing flyash for beneficial purposes.

3. Inter-Fuel Substitution

• Replacing Lignite with Imported Coal and Natural Gas: Reducing sulfur and particulate emissions.
• Expanding Use of Renewables: Including hydroelectric, wind, solar, and geothermal.

4. Electricity Trade

• Importing Electricity: From countries like Bulgaria with excess capacity.

5. Improving Fuel Quality

• Lower-Sulfur Diesel: Reducing SO₂ emissions.
• Unleaded Gasoline: Phasing out lead.
• Vehicle Conversion to CNG/LPG: Reducing harmful emissions.

6. Institutional and Regulatory Measures

• Environmental Management Improvements: Strengthening regulations and policies.
• Sector Reforms: Privatization, pricing reform, and institutional restructuring.

7. Market-Based Instruments

• Incentives for Reduction: Using economic tools to encourage sustainable practices.

Scenarios for Environmental Impact Mitigation

1. Reference Scenario: Evaluates the environmental and cost impacts of the current energy strategy.
2. GHG Emissions Reduction Scenario: Focuses on reducing greenhouse gas emissions through DSM, T&D loss reduction, and renewable energy.
3. Local and Regional Environmental Impact Reduction Scenario: Addresses TSP, SO₂, and waste management through cleaner technologies and practices.
4. Reform Scenario: Emphasizes more aggressive sector reforms, including unbundling and privatization.

Climate Change and Turkey

• Turkey is considered a developing country under UNFCCC, OECD, and other international frameworks.
• It has not joined the UNFCCC but is considering options such as:
  • Remaining outside the international legal framework.
  • Joining as an Annex I country but not the Kyoto Protocol.
  • Phasing in emission limitation measures.
  • Becoming a non-Annex I country in exchange for voluntary commitments to reduce carbon intensity.

Recommendations

• Conduct follow-up studies on:
  • Energy demand forecasting.
  • T&D loss reduction.
  • Coal/lignite mining subsector.
  • Emissions from non-power sectors.
  • Renewable energy resources.
  • Cogeneration potential.
  • Solid waste management from power plants.
  • Institutional, legal, and regulatory framework for the environment.
  • Petroleum fuel quality improvement.

Conclusion

Turkey faces significant environmental challenges due to its rapidly growing energy demand. While it has taken some steps toward addressing these issues, an integrated energy-environment strategy is needed. The document highlights several mitigation options, ranging from improving energy efficiency to adopting cleaner technologies and implementing market-based instruments. The selection and implementation of a combination of these options will be essential to meet environmental goals while maintaining economic growth.
