“Greenhouse gas” emissions in the transportation sector are rising.
The greenhouse gas emission CO2 equivalent in 2021 is 564 Million Tons (Mt) for Turkey and 91.20 Million Tons (Mt) for the Transportation Sector, and the share of Transportation will increase from 12.29% (1990) to 16.16% (2021 ) has increased.
In the period 1990 – 2021, the amount of “Greenhouse Gas Emission” increased by 238.17% for the “Transportation Sector” and by 157.13% throughout Turkey. Although modern vehicles with technical features (with environmentally friendly engines) are used in the transportation sector, the share of the transportation sector in “greenhouse gas” emissions is increasing. Could this be because the vehicles used, especially in “road” transportation, are old (old model) and there are a lot of “duplicate” and/or “return” transportations in domestic transportation?
