Turkey Plans To Double Coal-Fired Capacity w/i Four Years
Turkey is planning to double its coal power capacity in four years, the third largest investment in the polluting fossil fuel in the world, health campaigners have warned.
The Health and Environment Alliance (HEAL) today called on the European Union to promote sustainable development in Turkey and end lending for new coal projects.
Air pollution from existing coal plants already costs Turkey up to €3.6 billion per year in covering health costs caused by coal. That would be significantly increased by the new projects.
