There is a multi-dimensional need for studying the energy situation in Turkey and to ob-tain insight into the … development of CO2 emissions. On the one hand, recent projections of the OECD show that Turkey has a yearly GDP growth potential … to rise six-fold by 2025 with respect to the level of emissions in 1990. It is a great challenge to both meet the growth …
