Özet

There is an on-going demand for energy from hydrocarbon compounds and intermediate goods in meetingthe need for both production and intermediate products. The European Union and Turkey’s need for energyand intermediate goods are provided by petroleum and natural gas imported from geographically nearestenergy regions through pipelines. In this study, a strategic solution to demand for energy in Turkey isproposed. Furthermore, information about the energy status, the chemical sector and intermediate goodsimports of Turkey is provided. Considerations are proposed on the capabilities of petrochemical plants tobe established in Ceyhan Energy Specialized Industrial Zone (CESIZ) as an outlet of petroleum fromAzerbaijan and Iraq and a potential logistic energy base in the Eastern Mediterranean region. CeyhanEnergy Specialized Industrial Zone, as the first energy zone in Turkey and the nearby region, is introducedand the investors are briefed on the petrochemical facilities planned to be established in the zone. Theimportance of intermediate chemical products produced by petrochemical plants to be established inCeyhan Energy Specialized Industrial Zone in reducing the country’s foreign trade deficit is revealed. Dueto lack of studies conducted on CESIZ in the literature, this study would contribute to potential investorsand academicians.
