Low Carbon and Climate Resilient Roadmap for the Fertilizer Sector will be determined.

The opening meeting of the project “Low Carbon and Climate Resilient Roadmap for the Turkish Fertilizer Sector,” in which the Republic of Turkey Ministry of Industry and Technology participates as the beneficiary, and GTE and ESCON Energy Inc. participate as technical consultants, financed by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), was held with the participation of public institutions and private sector representatives.

The members of the Steering Committee, consisting of leading fertilizer manufacturing companies in Turkey, relevant public institutions, and national and international non-governmental organizations participated in the hybrid event. The International Fertilizer Association (IFA) also took part in the event. Within the scope of the project, a roadmap for the Turkish fertilizer sector will be determined in terms of the sustainable development and decarbonization goals of Turkey in order to adapt to the European Green Deal.

Türkiye: A Low Carbon and Climate Resilient Pathway Analysis for the Fertiliser Sector

GTE and ESCON companies are technical contractors, and the Ministry of Industry and Technology is the beneficiary of the “Türkiye: A Low Carbon and Climate Resilient Pathway Analysis for the Fertiliser Sector” project financed by the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD). The aim of this project is to determine a roadmap for the Turkish fertiliser industry and to harmonise with the European Green Deal in this context.

The greenhouse gas and policy interaction model to be developed and the effects of the EU Emissions Trading System and the Border Carbon Regulation Mechanism will be examined by analysing the current situation and emission reduction scenarios within the scope of the project. In the study, which will be contributed by the leading fertiliser producer companies in Turkey, relevant public institutions, and national and international non-governmental organisations, precise results will be obtained about the investment and technology needs for the sector for decarbonisation in the medium and long-term.

Increasing Wastewater Recovery Opportunities in Bursa Demirtas Organised Industrial Zone

GTE has carried out studies for the efficient use of water and increasing the possibilities of recycling wastewater in the facilities located in Bursa Demirtas Organised Industrial Zone (DOSAB).

Due to the expected increase in water consumption in the industry, the impact of climate change on water resources, and the rise in water costs, wastewater recovery opportunities should be increased, and the sustainability of the water provided by DOSAB to its participants should be ensured. While reducing the use of underground water resources in the project, it is aimed to strengthen the competitiveness of companies in international platforms by increasing the rate of recovered water.

Investigation of Wastewater Recovery Opportunities in İzmir Ataturk Organised Industrial Zone (IAOIZ)

GTE studied the possibilities of using existing technologies to recover wastewater produced in the Izmir Ataturk Organized Industrial Zone (IAOSB), one of our country’s leading organised industrial zones.

Since the increasing water demand in the industry can no longer be met sustainably with the existing surface and underground water resources and the water costs increase, the wastewater in IAOSB needs to be recovered and reused. The project’s scope is aimed at creating a secondary water source to be used by the industry.

Circular Economy and Resource Efficiency Platform Project

GTE is a technical consultant within the scope of the “Circular Economy and Resource Efficiency Platform Project” supported by the Istanbul Development Agency (ISTKA) within the Innovative Istanbul Financial Support Programme and carried out in cooperation with the Business Council for Sustainable Development (BCSD Turkey) and Istanbul Chamber of Industry (ISO). GTE will carry out cleaner production and circular economy analyses for 21 companies operating in Istanbul selected within the project’s scope.

The project aims to increase resource efficiency and circularity in the Istanbul industry, priority sectors and value chains to create a sustainable structure for this and improve stakeholders’ capacities.

Preparation of Ankara Local Climate Change Action Plan

Ankara Metropolitan Municipality’s “Preparation of Local Climate Change Action Plan” project is carried out by GTE. Within the scope of the project, preparation of Ankara’s greenhouse gas emission inventory, preparation of the greenhouse gas emission reduction action plan and adaptation studies against the effects of climate change are carried out.

As a result of the project, it is aimed to contribute to the understanding of climate-friendly and sustainable urbanism in Ankara by creating a holistic roadmap that brings together all the elements of the city with a strategic planning, together with all the stakeholders of the project.

The project report “Creating a Roadmap for the Development of the Wind Turbine Recycling Sector in Izmir” is published

We have completed the project “Creating a Roadmap for the Development of the Wind Turbine Recycling Sector in Izmir Province”, which we provided technical consultancy as GTE, carried out by Izmir Development Agency.

Within the scope of the project, we evaluated the cyclical management possibilities of wind turbine components, which have started to attract attention in the world in recent years. We hope that the project outputs will be beneficial for all stakeholders in terms of #sustainability in the rapidly developing wind industry in Izmir and Turkey.

Creation of a Roadmap for the Development of the Wind Turbine Recycling Sector in Izmir

The “Izmir Wind Turbine Blade Recycling Roadmap” project, led by the Izmir Development Agency (IZKA) with GTE providing technical consultancy, aims to promote environmental sustainability and circular economy principles within the rapidly growing wind turbine sector in Izmir. In this context, methods for the circular management of turbine blades, an increasingly significant issue worldwide, were evaluated, and strategies were developed to advance Izmir’s wind turbine recycling infrastructure.

The project’s outcome, the “Creation of a Roadmap for the Development of the Wind Turbine Recycling Sector in Izmir” addresses topics such as recycling technologies, material reuse, and sectoral partnerships, offering a comprehensive roadmap for the wind industry in Izmir and Turkey. This initiative aims to position Izmir as a wind energy hub aligned with circular economy principles.
