The Istanbul Political Center (IPC) of the University of Sabanchi published a report entitled “The Traffic Map of the Decarbonization of Turkey”, which sets out strategies for achieving a clean zero goal of the country by 2053. The study describes in detail scenarios of greenhouse gas emissions (PG) for the period 2025-2053 and it is estimated that the total amount of necessary investments is $ 265 billion. It is also designed to form a scientific basis for the new Turkish contribution (NDC), which will be presented to the United Nations at the end of this year.
The main goals to reduce emissions
the report emphasizes that with proper policy, Turkey can reduce 35 percent emissions compared to the levels of 2021, bringing them to 370 million tons. In particular, carbon emissions can be reduced by 40 percent to 277 million tons by 2035, returning national emissions to levels, which were last observed until 2005-2010. According to the IPC, such progress is possible only if the country takes industry measures in the energy, industry, transport, construction and agriculture.
Energy sector: phased refusal Coal
in the energy sector, one of the most important steps is a gradual rejection of coal to 2036. This transformation will be supported by annual investments in about 10 GW of wind and solar energy and 9 GW of the batteries until 2035. Such changes can reduce emissions in the electric power sector by an average of 6.5 percent per year and achieve a total reduction by 84 percent by 2053. The cost of this
