| Abstract: | As Turkey intends to join the European Community (EC), there is a need to adjust the national policies to the EC policies. As for the Turkish energy policies, supply strategies are needed that comply with the emission control regulations of the EC, taking into account the fast growing energy requirements and the increasing use of low-grade domestic fuels in Turkey, resulting in increasing air pollution. In a project carried out by the Institute for Industrial Production (IIP), Karlsruhe, in collaboration with the Gazi University, Ankara, and the responsible Turkish authorities, cost-efficient strategies are being developed to reduce emissions in Turkey according to the requirements. The project is financed by the Volkswagen-Stiftung, Hannover. By using the energy-environmental model EFOM-ENV as a tool, cost-efficient mixtures of technological emission control measures, including fuel switching, substitution of energy conversion technologies and the application of emission reduction technologies, are being determined to enable Turkey to comply with the emission control regulations of the EC. Selected results of this project are presented. |
