dc.description.abstractLiterature research indicates that there are several social reports and superficial information related to coal-fired power plants (CFPPs) in Turkey, whereas a collective and comprehensive study on the issue is scarce in the related literature. In this study, the current status and environmental impacts of CFPPs in Turkey are comprehensively and critically overviewed. With the fast growth of Turkey's economy, population, and energy demand CFPPs have largely increased in the last fifteen years. Turkey's energy policy has consistently developed to support its growing economy and population, reduce the increasing import dependence and reach the country's aims, and meet international standards. Fossil fuel reserves are highly restricted when compared to the country's demands, thus the majority of the energy demand is provided by imports. Turkey's top priority is to decrease its import dependency and current account deficit using domestic coal and renewable energy potential. Coal mining operations and CFPPs are substantially subsidised by the government including research and development support, coal exploration, and extraction. CFPPs contribute to greenhouse gas emissions and air pollution which harm human health and the environment. This will be prevented by adopting a policy of high-efficiency and low emissions, using clean coal technologies, by installing a flue-gas desulphurisation system on the power plant. Finally, this review could help global researchers, energy investors, and Turkish Authorities to design the country's coal-based sustainable energy future. © 2023 IMCET 2023 - Proceedings of the 28th International Mining Congress and Exhibition of Turkey.
