Greenhouse gas emissions
editClimate Trace estimates half-owned Cenal coal-fired power plant emitted over 7 million tons of the country’s total 730 million tons of greenhouse gas in 2022.[6] So it is on the Urgewald Global Coal Exit List.[7]
The company says that "Emissions at the [aluminium] production units in Seydişehir are already 50% lower than European Union standards",[8] however it still runs a small coal-fired power station at that factory.
