Enigin Update - Turkey's Urgent Need for Energy Efficiency
Turkey’s 2009 Review shows that the country is likely to see the fastest medium to long-growth energy demand among the IEA member countries according to the study Energy Policies of IEA Countries.
Mr Nobuo Tanaka, Executive Director of the IEA said "Turkey has progressed significantly in all areas of energy policy over the past few years."
The country needs large investments in energy infrastructure and to supply affordable energy to the people and sustain rapid economic growth. To attract that investment, the country needs to continue reforming its energy market.
There is also large potential for improving energy efficiency and limiting CO2 emissions
"On a global scale, we need a transition to a low-carbon economy, a revolution in how we produce and consume energy," Mr. Tanaka stressed. "Over the long term, we have to dramatically improve energy efficiency both in the supply and demand side.”
The Turkey 2009 Review highlights the importance of improving energy efficiency in responding to Turkey's energy policy challenges.
Energy-related CO2 emissions in Turkey have doubled since 1990 and are most likely to continue to increase rapidly over the medium and long term, in parallel with energy demand.
"The IEA urges Turkey to intensify efforts to further develop its approach concerning its post-2012 regime to combat climate change, and to consider setting a quantitative overall target for limiting emissions," said Mr. Tanaka.
The need for energy efficiency such as in Turkey is seen in all countries around the world providing a ideal opportunity for Enigin Distributors to expand their businesses.
