dc.description.abstract	The report analyzes barriers to and opportunities for private sector participation in district heating (DH) in the Western Balkan countries of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, and Serbia, as well as in Mongolia and Ukraine. Specifically, the report analyzes the legal and regulatory frameworks for public-private partnerships (PPP) and for DH in each of the countries,including an overview of the primary and secondary legislation, PPP preparation and approval processes, institutional setup of the DH sector, heat tariff-setting procedures, etc. In addition, the report describes international best practice for various business models for private sector participation in DH and provides country-specific recommendations to improve the attractiveness of PPP in the DH sector. Finally, the report provides an estimation of the investment needs in the DH sector by country and indicates selected investment projects, which are conservatively assessed at 1.5 billion dollars.	en

Opportunities for Direct Uses of Geothermal Energy in Türkiye

World Bank (2022)

Türkiye has substantial geothermal potential, and the country’s government is committed to exploiting it, both for economic reasons and to meet its obligations as a signatory of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change. Türkiye has more than 400 known geothermal fields in 63 different provinces. The country’s total estimated geothermal potential is more than 60,000 megawatts thermal. Developing that potential could create more than 120,000 direct jobs, with ample opportunities for women’s participation. The Turkish government has set an ambitious goal of 11,150 MWt in direct uses of geothermal energy by 2025. Meeting that goal will require raising awareness, building capacity, ensuring a favorable regulatory environment, and increasing access to funding for both public and private entities.

Gender Differences in Behavior and Perceptions of Energy Efficiency in Public Buildings in Turkey

Canpolat, Ezgi; Casabonne, Ursula (2021)

Energy efficiency in public buildings in Turkey is currently at a low level. Energy use in the country’s public and service sectors experienced a five-fold increase between 2000 and 2015. Total green house gas (GHG) emissions increased by more than 120 percent from 1990 to 2015, constituting a significant environmental challenge. Several policy, regulatory, financial and technical barriers have prevented meaningful improvements to date. The government of Turkey aims to substantially reduce its energy consumption in all strategic sectors of buildings, industry, and transport. Several legal requirements are in place for energy efficiency, such as the energy efficiency law, a regulation on energy performance in buildings, and regulation on increasing energy efficiency in the use of energy resources. In support of the government’s plan to curb energy consumption, the World Bank’s energy efficiency ...

Green Growth and Climate Change in Uzbekistan Policy Dialogue Series : A Compendium of Proceedings

World Bank (2022)

Over the last few decades, Uzbekistan’s remarkable economic growth has been largely fueled by resource extraction and the mining and manufacturing sectors of the economy. Yet, this progress has come at a high price. The country’s economy is now the fifth most intensive in terms of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the world and the most intensive in Europe and Central Asia due to a fossil-fuel heavy energy mix, an energy-intensive industrial sector, and low energy efficiency across the sectors. Like the rest of Central Asia, Uzbekistan is also highly vulnerable to climate change. Recently, many regions in Uzbekistan, including Tashkent, experienced an unprecedented sand and dust storm, the worst in 150 years of recorded history. Green transition is also important for the people of Uzbekistan, who are the most vulnerable to climate change. The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has added yet ...
