Climate Law (No. 7552 of 2025)

Türkiye first Climate Law (20 articles plus two provisional, adopted July 3, 2025) builds the ETS-centred architecture for the 2053 net-zero target: Directorate of Climate Change powers (ETS establishment, allocation, GHG permits for direct emitters), a ministerial Carbon Market Board (allocation plan, free allowances, primary-market volumes, offset ratios, sector/project/activity eligibility, import-export rules), CBAM feasibility for embedded emissions in imports (Ministry of Trade coordination), and defined terms (just transition, primary market, offsetting, ETS, embedded emissions, voluntary markets, climate justice). For CCUS the law is an enabler, not a regime: no storage licensing, liability or MRV titles exist — capture monetises against ETS allowances and CBAM-exposed cement/steel/power demand once secondary regulation lands. Green Taxonomy regulations are the named unlock for CCUS infrastructure finance.
