Measures with regard to Greenhouse Gas emissions are initiated. This report recommends to enhance the use of renewable energy sources, in particular hydro electricity, and the use of advanced combustion technologies for fossil fuels. A working group on climate change has been established to follow and evaluate scientific developments in the area of climate change, and to prepare a national GHG inventory. In 1992, the Ministry of Environment issued a regulation providing for emissions testing for cars, trucks and vans. The regulation foresees penalties in case of non compliance with the maximum emissions allowed.
Emission testing is mandatory for the sales of used vehicles.
Turkey has the lowest energy related CO 2 emissions per capita among IEA countries. Historical and projected levels of CO 2 and other GHG emissions in Turkey are illustrated in the following tables. Recent measures to improve energy efficiency which would further mitigate the increase in emissions have not been taken into account. Annex 1 Parties n.a. 11.08 Non-OECD Total 2.35 2.42 2.
