ECO PRODUCTION- Climate Friendly Competitiveness Program

Posted by GTE on

Increasing environmental sustainability needs all over the world, transition to a low carbon economy, increasing importance of issues such as resource efficiency, circular economy, energy efficiency, and global priorities within the scope of sustainability and climate change and the political, legal and commercial regulations brought by these will bring to the industry, especially export companies, a very important contribution. costs occur. Seeing this need, TTGV is developing the “ECO PRODUCTION – Climate Friendly Competitiveness Programme and contributing to the development of the industry with a focus on sustainable production and climate change; It aims to provide a comprehensive support approach that will create a value chain, from analysis and needs assessment to project design and access to finance, and to create solution-oriented value-creating collaborations by bringing different stakeholders together as an integrator/coordinator platform.

In the project, where GTE is involved as a project consultant, with the project design and feasibility support to the companies selected as a result of the negotiations with the Medium and Large Scale Enterprises in Ankara, Izmir and Manisa, both for the existing resources of TTGV for this purpose and for the sustainable production to be offered by the public and private sectors.

Posted by GTE on

GTE is serving as a technical consultant for a project aimed at recovering wastewater generated from various sectors, such as textiles, chemicals, electronics, and food, operating within the Cerkezkoy Organized Industrial Zone (COIZ). The project intends for the recovered wastewater to be used as process water in the companies within the OSB.

As part of the World Bank’s Green OIZ program, a wastewater recovery facility with an initial capacity of 25,000 m³/day will be established in COIZ. The plan is to recover the produced wastewater and use it as a secondary water source for 17 companies within the OSB. This is expected to help reduce the pressure on water resources and contribute to the sustainable management of these resources. In this context, a comprehensive feasibility study is being conducted. The study aims to present detailed outcomes evaluating the project’s technical, economic, environmental, and social impacts.

Tekfen Holding Greenhouse Gas Inventory and Mitigation Roadmap Project

Posted by GTE on

Tekfen aims to identify emission hotspots, sources, and activities, and to lay the groundwork for target setting and greenhouse gas reduction roadmap studies to be carried out with this project. During the project, Tekfen Holding’s Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions will be calculated and reported for its 64 facilities in 10 different countries.

Tekfen Holding’s greenhouse gas inventory in compliance with the ISO14064 standard, the assessment of the status of its four priority sectors (Agriculture, Chemicals, Construction and Finance) in accordance with the requirements of the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), and the creation of a roadmap for emission reduction will also be carried out within the scope of the proposed study.

Yalova Organized Industrial Zone (OIZ) Green Transformation Project

Posted by GTE on

Yalova Organized Industrial Zone (OIZ) aims to measure the “Green Maturity Level” of its 30 member companies and establish a mechanism that will support sustainable green employment as part of the “Green Transformation Program” being conducted by the Yalova Qualified Employment Center. Funded by the Eastern Marmara Development Agency (MARKA) and implemented under the Turkey Green OIZ Program led by Turkey’s Ministry of Industry and Technology, GTE is serving as a technical consultant for the project.

The primary goal of the project is to assess the readiness of Yalova OIZ member companies for green transformation by analyzing various dimensions such as green technologies, processes, organizational structure, and company culture. As part of the project, field visits will be conducted to measure the green transformation maturity levels of 30 member companies in Yalova OIZ. At the end of the program, a roadmap highlighting the green transformation levels of the 30 participating companies will be prepared, and training sessions will be organized.
