Kurzbeschreibung (Abstract)

This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the geothermal energy landscape in Türkiye on the occasion of the 100 th anniversary of the Turkish Republic. The study examines the country's progress and internationally recognized applications in geothermal energy, highlighting key milestones and the impact of the founding vision that underscores the central role of geosciences in economic development. The use of legislation and feed-in tariff mechanisms to promote the use of indigenous energy resources is discussed in the context of cause-and-effect relationships, highlighting the dynamics of geothermal development. MTA (The Institute of Mineral Research and Exploration) started geothermal exploration in Türkiye in the 1960s. From the drilling of the first geothermal well in 1963 in Izmir to the centenary celebration in 2023, Türkiye has made its name in the global rankings and secured a pioneering position in the field. There are currently over 2000 thermal springs and wells, with drilling depths of up to 5 km, and direct use applications have resulted in 6300 MWt. This includes district heating (1422 MWt), greenhouse heating (2417 MWt), heating for thermal facilities, hotels, etc. (680 MWt), balneological use (1763 MWt), agricultural drying (9.5 MWt), cooling (0.35 MWt) and geothermal heat pump applications (8.5 MWt). The total installed capacity has reached 1710 MWe and the carbondioxide that is produced is used in the production of 400,000 tonnes of dry ice per year. In 1982, the first Turkish-Italian seminar on geothermal energy was held. The first geothermal electricity was produced in 1974. In 1999, the Izmir-Balçova geothermal heating system was selected as a best practice by the European Geothermal Energy Council (EGEC). The World Geothermal Congress (IGA-TGA) was held in 2005 in Antalya-Türkiye and the European Geothermal PhD Days were held in Türkiye for the first time in February 2020. In April 2023, with the inauguration of the first geothermal-solar hybrid power plant, Türkiye has reached another significant milestone, demonstrating its commitment to innovative and sustainable energy solutions as it looks to the future.
