Climate law: Necessity or opportunity for Türkiye? Sustainable environmental vision with green chemistry

This study analyzes the relationship between Türkiye's pending Climate Law and green chemistry practices by combining technology, policy and economics perspectives. The findings suggest that the Climate Law could be a critical tool for the adoption and diffusion of green chemistry technologies through carbon pricing and emission reduction targets. However, realizing this potential depends on technological maturity levels (TRL), economic feasibility (especially economies of scale), infrastructure investments and effective policy design. The study aims to fill an important gap in the literature by examining the linkages between Türkiye's climate policies and green chemistry through a systematic and interdisciplinary approach. It also emphasizes the urgent need for further research, refinement and piloting on the sustainability of biobased chemicals, the energy intensity and net carbon reduction capacity of CCU technologies, and the technical and economic feasibility of chemical recycling.
