Türkiye has substantial geothermal
potential, and the country’s government is committed to
exploiting it, both for economic reasons and to meet its
obligations as a signatory of the Paris Agreement on Climate
Change. Türkiye has more than 400 known geothermal fields in
63 different provinces. The country’s total estimated
geothermal potential is more than 60,000 megawatts thermal.
Developing that potential could create more than 120,000
direct jobs, with ample opportunities for women’s
participation. The Turkish government has set an ambitious
goal of 11,150 MWt in direct uses of geothermal energy by
2025. Meeting that goal will require raising awareness,
building capacity, ensuring a favorable regulatory
environment, and increasing access to funding for both
public and private entities. |
