Turkey's carbon emissions have risen in line with the country's energy consumption. However, energy-related CO2 emissions per capita and per gross domestic product are both increasing. Energy-related CO2 emissions from coal and coal products decreased slightly between 1990 and 2000 while that of oil and gas increased. As CO2 emissions increased from 160 Mt in 1995 to nearly 240 Mt in 2000, they are expected to rise to 400 Mt by 2010 and up to 700 Mt by 2020. In Turkey total CO2 emissions from fossil fuels, about 50.07 Mt in 2001. However, fuel share of carbon emissions in 2001: oil 44.2%, coal 38.8%, and NG 16.9%.
