Page 27 - 7. State Of Environment Report Of Türkiye

In the Energy sector, the installed capacity of Türkiye’s electrical energy was 91,267 MW by the
end of 2019 and reached 103,809 MW by the end of 2022. The share of renewable energy in this
installed capacity increased from 49.05% to 54.3%. The primary energy supply of Türkiye was
157.8 million Total Equivalent Petroleum (TEP) in 2022. The share of natural gas in primary energy
supply is 27.4%, coal 26.2%, oil 28.6% and renewable energy 17.2%.

With the studies carried out within the scope of the National Energy Efficiency Action Plan
(NEEAP) between 2017-2023, it was determined that a total of 8.47 billion USD was invested in
energy efficiency in Türkiye and 24 million 625 thousand TOE energy savings and 68.62 million
tonnes of CO equivalent emission reduction were achieved in return for this investment. In
2
addition, approximately 45 thousand new green jobs have been created in the sector.

In Transport, among the vehicles registered to traffic, hybrid vehicles increased from 13,901 in
2019 to 222,586 in 2023, and electric vehicles increased from 35,843 to 367,692. While the High
Speed Line in the railway network in Türkiye was 1,184 km in 2019, it increased to 1,978 km in
2023. Within the framework of the “Green Port Policy” developed in 2014, 20 port facilities in
Türkiye were awarded “Green Port Certificate”.

In Tourism, according to the World Tourism Organisation data, Türkiye ranks 5 in the world
th
and 4 in Europe in terms of the number of tourists in 2023, and ranks 7 in the world and 5 in
th
th
th
Europe in terms of tourism revenues in the same year.
In the industrial sector, within the scope of the ‘Green OIZ Certification Programme’, the respon-
sibilities for the Green OIZ Certification System in 2023 have been determined and 21 of the 26
OIZs that have passed these preliminary criteria have entered the evaluation phase.
In the AIR section, in the National Air Emission Inventory data, when the status of emissions for
the years 1990-2021, which are covered by the reporting based on 2023, is analyzed, it is seen
that emission totals are not in a very serious course depending on emission management poli-
cies, especially in combustion-derived pollutants. When the 2000-2021 time series of the nati-
onally calculated road emissions totals are analyzed, it is seen that there is a decreasing trend in
vehicle emissions with the renewed engine technologies.

Air quality measurement stations have been established by the MoEUCC in 81 provinces in order
to monitor air quality throughout Türkiye. Starting with 35 stations in 2005, the number of stati-
ons included in the National Air Quality Monitoring Network reached 380 by 2023.
Between 2015 and 2019, according to the results of measurements made by air quality measu-
rement stations across Türkiye, 16% improvement was achieved in PM10 parameter and 37%
improvement was achieved in SO parameter. From 2020 to the present, it is seen that the said
2
decreasing trend has been maintained.
In terms of Noise Management, within the scope of national and international projects carried
out by the MoEUCC, noise maps were prepared for the residential areas of 66 provinces and ac-
tion plans for 22 provinces were finalized. In addition, strategic noise maps of 49 airports were
prepared.
In terms of the issue of CLIMATE CHANGE, negative impacts such as extreme rainfall, floods,
storms, landslides, heat waves and forest fires have become more frequent and severe in Türkiye
in the last two decades. When the temperature changes between 1970 and 2023 in Türkiye are
analyzed, there has been an increase in temperature since 2007, except for 2011.
