The objective of the Geothermal Development Project for Turkey is to scale up private sector investment in geothermal energydevelopment in Turkey.
... See More + This will be achieved by reducing the risks taken on by the private sector in the exploratory phases, and by providing access to long-term financing for resource developmentphases. Some of the negative impacts and mitigation measures include: topsoil will be stripped up to 300 mm depth and stored in designated storage areas for further site restoration works; storage areas will be prevented from the accumulation of storm water, provided with drainage; weed growth in stockpiles of topsoil will be prevented and the stockpiles will be seeded if required; existing access roads will be used for project purposes and off-road driving will be prohibited; project activities will be limited in the construction area and construction sites will be surrounded with fences to prevent wild animals intrusion to the site; hunting or collection of animals and will be strictly prohibited within the project area; and awareness among all construction workers will be provided during the lifetime of the project for especially the fauna species with limited mobility. If these species, are observed, they will be translocated to undisturbed but similar areas.

This Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) report was prepared by ÇINAR Engineering Consultancy Inc. with the purposes of evaluating the possible environmental and social impacts for Gas Storage Expansion Project (GSEP).
... See More + The planned project will increase the capacity of the existing storage project in the same area which was taken into operation recently. The existing project which is Underground Gas Storage Project (UGS Project) was also financed by WB resources and has an ESIA in place. In addition, ÇINAR Engineering Consultancy Inc. has been providing ESIA monitoring services for the existing project and therefore this ESIA had valuable inputs from the monitoring data. ÇINAR Engineering Consultancy Inc. also prepared an Environmental Impact Assessment report for the Gas Storage Expansion Project to fulfill the national EIA Regulation requirements and received ‘EIA positive’ decision of Turkish Ministry of Environment and Urbanization on March 10, 2017. In this report, it is aimed to assess environmental and social impacts which will occur because of the construction, drilling, leaching and auxiliary activities of the units outlined above during GSEP. In addition, suggestions regarding the minimizing of these impacts and/or making the impacts positive will be made after the reviews, assessments and analyses in the report.

Turkey is the fourth-largest producer of cement in the world and the largest one in Europe. Cement manufacturing is an extremely energy-intensive process, with clinker production alone accounting for more than ninety percent of the total energy used by the industry.
... See More + However, during the clinker manufacturing process, surplus thermal energy is produced, which can be harvested and converted into power. Waste heat from the preheater and clinker-cooler exhausts can be recovered and used to provide low-temperature heating needs in the plant, or used to generate power. Waste heat recovery (WHR) can provide up to 30 percent of a cement plant’s overall electricity needs. The Turkish cement industry has been an early adopter of WHR technology. IFC’s Energy and water advisory team launched a review of WHR investments in the cement sector in Turkey. This report illustrates that WHR capacity utilization and kiln (cylindrical furnace) operating hours have the greatest impact on a WHR project’s economics because these factors have a direct bearing on the amount of electricity produced by the WHR system.

The development objective of the Tuz Gölü Underground Natural Gas Storage Facility Capacity Expansion Project for Turkey is to increase security of gas supply and support gas trading in Turkey by expanding gas storage capacity.
... See More + Some of the negative impacts and mitigation measures include: (i) organic wastes will be carried to the waste collection point or transfer stations of the municipalities or determined waste points at the project’s construction areas in daily basis; (ii) hazardous wastes, waste oils, waste vegetable oils and medical wastes will be disposed by the contracted and licensed disposal companies; (iii) trainings should be provided by the project to introduce the cultures and social habits of the region to the foreign workers and to prevent possible conflicts between local people and workers; (iv) dust emissions should be reduced through the regular watering of roads, especially unpaved ones; (v) trainings should be provided for Project workers including traffic rules, speed limits and possible risks for communities; (vi) avoiding the resettlement or removing of the people who live there as much as possible. If it is not avoidable, providing moving assistance or additional supports to ensure that they are not encountered difficulties in sustaining their lives; (vii) providing livelihood restoration assistance in the form of; provision of machinery and equipment for improving farming, provision of skills training, employment opportunities etc.; (viii) alternative pasture lands should be shown or accessibility of pasture lands should be ensured by leaving gaps during the construction of pipelines; (ix) replacement of irrigated farming land should be offered of equivalent productive value in the area and vicinity of the land being expropriated; (x) all wastes will be temporarily stored at the working areas and removed to the determined waste collection points daily; (xi) health and safety awareness trainings will be provided to workers periodically throughout their employment and world-wide accepted safety rules will be followed to prevent possible accidents or risks.
