Türkiye could increase its GDP by as much as US$8 billion per year, create more than 300,000 new jobs by 2030, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 8 percent compared to the 2019 level – all by investing in renewable energy rather than continuing to rely on fossil fuels. These are the findings of a joint analysis released today in Ankara by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the International Labour Organization (ILO). Investing in wind and solar power to satisfy future energy needs would thus yield not only environmental benefits but also strong economic ones, in terms of growth, job creation and the trade balance.

The current challenges regarding energy security, energy prices and the cost of living have intersected with the climate crisis to remind us that energy efficiency is more indispensable than ever.

The cleanest, cheapest, most reliable source of energy is what countries can avoid using, while still providing full energy services for citizens. That is why the IEA refers to energy efficiency as the “first fuel”. Without early action on efficiency the energy transition to net zero emissions will be more expensive and much more difficult to achieve.

The invasion of Ukraine has highlighted the geopolitical liability for the European Union from fossil fuel imports from autocratic regimes. In response, the European Union is for ways to replace Russian gas imports in the short term, taking critical decisions over investment in infrastructure and economic relationships.

This joint analysis by Bellona, Ember, E3G and Regulatory Assistance Project finds that:

Clean energy can replace two-thirds of Russian gas imports by 2025.

The Green OSB Concept, which has come to the fore in the business world’s agenda within the framework of the EU Green Agreement, offers solutions regarding the Green Transformation in Industry and the measures included in the harmonization package, and is supported by the Turkish Ytong, the building materials manufacturer.
By 2030, Carbon Emissions Should Be Reduced by 55%

Stating that the Green Transformation in the Industry will start with the OIZs, which are the planned industrial areas, Hinginar pointed out that the production sector has priority in terms of the Green Agreement, and said, “The issue of the Green Agreement is a detailed and broad issue.

Schneider Electric’s EcoStructure Platform and AVEVA’s Digital Transformation Solutions have proven to support industrial sustainability initiatives.

Schneider Electric, the world leader in industrial software driving digital transformation and sustainability, AVEVA, announced that its combined technology offerings support mining companies’ sustainability initiatives in four key areas: energy efficiency, efficiency gains, low-carbon emission technology adoption, and new green processes.

Global decarbonization is heavily dependent on the sustainable production of minerals and commodities.

Today, we (and our customers) know a lot more about product safety than we did, say, 20 years ago. That knowledge is reflected in ever safer solutions.

Cleaner oils, safer products

As a society, we are well informed today. This trend will only grow stronger, and the legislation reflecting it more draconian. Our naphthenic grades are not classified as carcinogenic, allowing them to replace, for example high aromatic oils in tyres. Another application on the horizon is using naphthenic oil as a plasticizer in PVC; the phtalates used today are environmentally unsuitable.

As of 1 March, consumers will find new, revamped labels on dishwashers, washing machines, fridges and televisions. But to reach our climate ambitions, the European Commission must introduce A-G dedicated energy labels for all products responsible for high energy consumption, write Mélissa Zill and Jean-Pierre Schweitzer.

Mélissa Zill is the programme manager at ECOS. Jean-Pierre Schweitzer is a policy officer at the European Environmental Bureau (EEB). Together, ECOS and the EEB lead the Coolproducts campaign – a coalition of NGOs working to ensure better products for consumers and the planet.

Gathering momentum for the energy transition has sparked debate on what the energy map will look like in 30 years. For more than half a century now, access to oil and natural gas has been at the heart of the geopolitics of energy; but with renewable technologies set to dominate energy supply systems, relations between states will change, while economies and societies will undergo structural transformations.

This issue of the Oxford Energy Forum discusses the drivers and main features of the ‘old’ and ‘new’ geopolitics of energy.

Elon Musk says the No. 1 way to decrease carbon dioxide emissions would be to levy a tax on carbon.

“My top recommendation, honestly, would be just add a carbon tax,” Musk told Joe Rogan on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast on Thursday. “The economy works great. Prices and money are just information. … If the price is wrong, the economy doesn’t do the right thing.”

Currently, there is no direct monetary consequence for businesses and industries whose production releases greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere; in other words, it is free to create green house gasses, the most common and pervasive of which is carbon dioxide.

The global race to net-zero emissions has begun. But the world has much further to run.

The European Union, Japan, the UK and many other major world economies have set ambitious goals to reach net-zero emissions by 2050. China, the world’s biggest emitter, is aiming to be carbon neutral before 2060. And US President Joe Biden announced the nation’s return to the Paris Agreement and is putting the fight against climate change at the heart of his administration’s goals.

Improving the efficiency with which energy is consumed by end-users is a central theme of the European Union’s energy policy. Energy efficiency constitutes one of the five dimensions of the European Commission’s Energy Union Strategy, designed to enhance energy security, sustainability and competitiveness. It is one of the fastest and most cost effective ways to reduce CO2 emissions, contribute to energy security, and help to create new jobs and make European organisations more competitive.

The JRC provides key scientific support to the third dimension of the Energy Union (Energy Efficiency Contributing to the Moderation of Demand) and assesses the role of the efficiency improvements in reducing GHG emissions in energy intensive industries in support of the EU Emission Trading System (one component of the fourth dimension of the Energy Union).

EEL Events is proud to announce that the Annual Turkey Energy Forum will be held digitally this year over three days, between 27-29 January 2021, discussing the new reality the Turkish energy industry is facing in a post-COVID-19 world.

The agenda includes online, interactive discussions on energy market risks and investors’ sentiments along with virtual panels examining financing dynamic post-COVID-19, the reform of energy
distribution systems, the boom of renewables and distributed generation investments in a Turkish
energy mix as well as the role of digitalisation and technology in improving the yield in energy and renewable energy projects.
