About CDR Türkiye

An independent platform and ecosystem orchestrator for durable carbon removal, connecting policy, science, industry, and finance in Türkiye and the wider region.

CDR Türkiye works actively to build market readiness and accelerate regional project deployment. Operating at the intersection of policy, science, industry, and finance, it bridges structural gaps to move durable carbon removal from potential to execution.

Brings together
  • Policy
  • Science
  • Industry
  • Finance

The platform focuses on supply-side development, identifying high-potential supply pathways, preparing hard-to-abate industries, and working alongside project developers, industrial leaders and investors to establish bankable pilots, off-take structures, and supporting policy frameworks. By connecting local stakeholders with international networks and aligning regional capabilities with global standards, CDR Türkiye creates the execution conditions required for regional CDR leadership.

Supply side first

Building a functional market starts on the supply side, preparing local industries and land managers to serve both domestic climate goals and export markets.

While anchored in Türkiye, the regional supplier scope extends across wider zones

  • Türkiye
  • The Mediterranean basin
  • The Turkic Republics
  • The Middle East

All pathways are evaluated against three core criteria

  1. 1 Scientific integrity
  2. 2 Climate impact
  3. 3 Economic viability

Action lines

Action lines and orchestration

CDR Türkiye functions as an ecosystem orchestrator, establishing the conditions required for a structured market to form. The platform advances three practical lines of work.

  1. 01

    Industrial and agricultural deployment

    Partnering with industrial operators, agricultural cooperatives, and major biomass producers to prepare early deployment opportunities around waste feedstocks.

  2. 02

    Financial frameworks

    Collaborating with banks and financial institutions to develop bankable project structures and standardized offtake frameworks.

  3. 03

    Policy and regulation

    Engaging with government bodies and regulatory authorities to define clear measurement, reporting, and verification thresholds within policy frameworks.

By bringing scattered stakeholders to the same table and setting rigorous evidence standards, the platform enables new project developers to access capital and connects regional supply with global markets.
