Environment 5.3 Comments<br />
PORTUGAL (pt)<br />
Concerning the atmospheric emissions from electricity generation, the values up to 2008 are the ones<br />
observed for the public system power plants and are estimated values for CHP generation.<br />
For the future years, the values were calculated on the basis of emission coefficients established for<br />
planning purposes and forecasted thermal generation for average hydrological conditions.<br />
The reduction of the SO 2 emissions is linked to the reduction of the sulphur content in fuels, to the<br />
progressive decrease of the production of fuel oil plants together with the increase of generation based<br />
on combined cycle technology using natural gas and to the installation of SO 2 emissions abatement<br />
technologies in the existing coal plants.<br />
TURKEy (tr)<br />
Energy policy of Turkey is to provide energy supply in a reliable, sufficient and economic manner,<br />
regarding the targeted economic and social development and taking into account the environmental<br />
concerns. The main objective of the Turkish environmental policy is to protect and improve the<br />
environment within the framework of sustainable development. However, due to the considerably high<br />
financial burden of the environmental investments there are some difficulties for taking all the required<br />
measures in some existing power plants, particularly lignite-fired thermal power plants.<br />
The recent environmental studies are mostly concentrated on the issues related to the EU, particularly<br />
on the harmonization of legislation with the environmental acquis of EU, since Turkey is within the<br />
accession partnership.<br />
The other important issue is related to the Climate Change since Turkey has been party to the United<br />
Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCC) in 2004. In this framework, Initial National<br />
Communication was prepared and submitted to the UNFCCC Secretariat. These studies have been<br />
carried out under the responsibility of Ministry of Environment and Forestry (MoEF) in co-operation with<br />
the related sectors, including electricity sector.<br />
