What Is Green Energy?
Green energy is a type of renewable energy obtained from natural resources such as sunlight, wind, rain, tides, plants, algae, and geothermal heat. Fossil fuels, on the contrary, are a limited type of energy that takes millions of years to form and is depleted as it is used. In addition, renewable energy sources do not harm the environment like fossil fuels do.
Climate Change and the Carbon Neutral Target
In order to reduce the negative effects of climate change, important decisions have been made in the European Union along with many countries of the world, and within the framework of the published European Green Deal, it has been targeted to become the first carbon-neutral continent by reducing carbon emissions to zero by 2050.
European Green Deal
In the face of the impact that the transformation required by the Green Deal and the additional greenhouse gas reduction targets will create on industry, the EU has stated that, in addition to different areas such as “Combating Climate Change,” “Clean Energy,” “New Industrial Strategy,” “Farm to Fork Agriculture,” “Circular Economy,” “Ecosystems and Biodiversity,” and “Zero Pollution,” the “Carbon Border Adjustment” will be implemented in all exporting countries.
Where is CTN in green energy?
We are the first and only Turkish company in the world’s industry that designs WHR plants including Organic Rankine Cycle systems for generating electricity from waste heat, with 85% localization and facilities compatible with Industry 4.0.
Energy production and consumption in industry account for more than 75% of the EU’s greenhouse gas emissions. For this reason, we believe that energy efficiency should be given great importance.
With this principle in mind, as CTN we have turned our direction toward green energy and Industry 4.0 in order to leave a more livable world for future generations. Therefore, as the CTN company, we produce environmentally friendly facilities by utilizing existing waste without using our underground resources and by reducing dependence on fossil fuels. At every stage, without compromising on quality, we combine our rapid manufacturing power with our design and engineering experience, serving green energy through fully integrated and digitalized facilities.
Yeşil Enerji ile Yer Aldığımız Projeler
WHR-ORC Systems
ÇİMKO Narlı (SANKO Holding): In 2018, a contract was signed for a plant with a clinker capacity of 10,000 tons/day; the 7 MW/h WHR-ORC system was successfully commissioned in 2019.
Sönmez Çimento (SÖNMEZ Holding): In 2019, a contract was signed for the plant with a capacity of 6,000 tons/day in the Yumurtalık Free Zone; the 8.3 MW/h system was commissioned in 2020.
Factory Rooftop Solar Energy System
We benefit from green energy with the solar energy system we installed at our factory. With 315 kWp solar panels installed over an area of 11,000 m2, we contribute to sustainable production.
* By avoiding the use of 160 tons of coal per year, we aim for an environmentally friendly production model.
“The WHR-ORC (Waste Heat Recovery - Organic Rankine Cycle) facilities we have established as CTN Makina A.Ş. are within the scope of services aimed at Green Energy and reducing carbon emissions.”
