Where Türkiye's CO₂ comes from
Coal is the largest source. A coal-heavy mix means power generation is the main lever for cutting emissions.
Per person: Türkiye vs the world
Production vs consumption
Counting the CO₂ embedded in the goods it imports and exports, Türkiye's consumption-based footprint was 483 million tonnes (5.54 t per person) in 2023. That is almost the same as its territorial emissions — trade roughly balances out.
Primary energy use: 23,928 kWh per person (world 21,654 kWh).
