Turkish Emissions Trading System

Last updated

The Turkish Emissions Trading System is the carbon emission trading system of Turkey, which is supposed to start in Q3 2026, [1] with a pilot phase including industries such as cement.

[3] As of 2025 a law has been passed but allowances not yet decided, [4] and it has not yet clear whether the country will join the Cooperative Mechanisms under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement.
