Country Analysis Brief
  • Turkey's strategic location makes it a natural "energy bridge" between major oil and natural gas producing areas in the Middle East and Caspian Sea regions and consumer markets in Europe.
  • Although Turkey is not a major oil producer, its emerging role as an important oil transit country make it increasingly important to world oil markets.
  • The Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan Pipeline, which bypasses the Bosporus Straits oil transit chokepoint, is the first of numerous planned or proposed Bosporus bypass pipelines to be constructed.
  • Consumption of natural gas has increased substantially over the last several years in Turkey.
  • To help meet increasing domestic demand for natural gas, Turkey has established multiple international pipeline connections.
  • The majority of Turkey’s coal production is for electricity generation.
  • The majority of Turkey’s electricity comes from conventional thermal sources.
  • Turkey’s per capita carbon emissions remain well below the regional average, although emissions levels are on the rise.
