Carbon Forward launched Turkiye’s first ever carbon conference in May 2024. With the launch of the pilot ETS in quarter 4 and the introduction of the Turkiye ETS in 2025, this event was established to give attendees an understanding of the significant impact this introduction will have on their business. Carbon Forward Turkiye was a focused event covering all you need to know…  Tukiye ETS, EU ETS, CBAM, Turkiye emissions strategy, Article 6, VCM trends, aviation and shipping.

Attendees had the opportunity to:

• Dive into the proposed Turkiye ETS and learn more about how this will directly affect you
• Explore carbon pricing and voluntary markets and how they can help companies in the region achieve their emissions reduction targets
• Examine the impact of the Turkiye ETS on big emitters and the regional shipping sector
• Understand how compliance carbon costs are increasing for industrial installations and airlines operating in the Turkiye region
• Engage in networking and discussions with experts and industry leaders in the field

Key topics:

Day One

• Government presentations on the ETS and other carbon pricing incentives
• Emissions trading – focusing on what companies need to consider and the practical ramifications of an ETS. This will cover: free allocation to registries, buying to complying to costs that get passed through. Who participates in ETS’s and why? The role of utilities, banks, brokers and exchanges.
• CBAM
• Impact of an ETS on power prices and the power sector
• Sectors and free allocation expectations
• Aviation and shipping
• Carbon price forecasting, including EU ETS price forecasts

Day Two

• COP 29
• Article 6
• MENA NDCs and how these will be met and how we might expect them to change
• Project development – considering the VCM and Article 6 project developments in Turkey and the MENA region
• A regional development panel, including perspectives from buyers

Carbon Forward Turkiye was specifically designed for:

• Industrial companies in the region, who want to understand how the introduction of the Turkiye ETS will affect their carbon exposure. This includes cement, energy, iron and steel and other big emitters
• Airlines, who want to stay on top of their compliance obligations under the ETS schemes and CORSIA
• Shipping companies who want to understand their compliance obligations under the EU ETS
• Service providers
• Government representatives

Whilst the agenda focused on Turkiye, the impact was far reaching – this event was also for organisations in the Balkans, Georgia, Africa and the Middle East.
