Climate and energy roadmap 2023–2028
Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions at our Çorlu (Velimeşe) plant were 12,698 tCO₂e in the 2023 base year. By 2028 we aim to bring them down to 5,502 tCO₂e, a reduction of 57% against the base year. Per kilogram of product, we plan to reduce emissions from 1.68 kgCO₂e to 0.92 kgCO₂e.
Key figures · tCO₂e
Fersan calculation · not independently verified
Values for 2023–2025 are reported emissions; values for 2026–2028 are planned. Scope 2 is calculated using the market-based method: electricity covered by I-REC certificates is counted as zero emissions, and the uncovered share is calculated with the grid emission factor.
| Year | Status | Scope 1 | Scope 2 | Total | vs base year | kgCO₂e / kg product | Reference scenario |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | Base year | 9,251 | 3,447 | 12,698 | – | 1.68 | 12,698 |
| 2024 | Reported | 7,602 | 156 | 7,758 | −39% | 1.07 | 12,165 |
| 2025 | Reported | 6,847 | 147 | 6,994 | −45% | 1.17 | 11,654 |
| 2026 | Plan | 6,299 | 0 | 6,299 | −50% | 1.06 | 11,165 |
| 2027 | Plan | 5,851 | 0 | 5,851 | −54% | 0.98 | 10,696 |
| 2028 | Plan | 5,502 | 0 | 5,502 | −57% | 0.92 | 10,246 |
The reduction comes from three sources: solar power and renewable energy certificates for electricity, steam-system efficiency for natural gas, and a change in production volume. We show the effect of production volume separately.
3,447 → 147 tCO₂e
The 3,400 kW solar plant at our facility generated 2,561 MWh in 2024 and 2,390 MWh in 2025, meeting 42% of our electricity consumption in 2025. We covered 91.7% of the electricity we purchased from the grid with I-REC renewable energy certificates; the remaining share is included in Scope 2 at the grid emission factor. Our plan provides for all purchased electricity to be certificate-backed from 2026.
50.6 → 30.1 GWh
All of our Scope 1 emissions come from natural gas used at the plant. Our natural gas consumption fell from 50.6 GWh in 2023 to 37.4 GWh in 2025; our target for 2028 is 30.1 GWh. We will deliver the 2026–2028 reduction through steam boiler, condensate return, insulation and process heat recovery projects.
7,559 → 5,964 t
Our shipments were 7,559 tonnes in 2023 and 5,964 tonnes in 2025. The estimated gas savings from measures implemented in 2024–2025 account for about 38% of the fall in consumption over the same period; the remainder is largely due to lower production volume. For this reason, alongside the absolute target, we have also set a target per kilogram of product: from 1.68 kgCO₂e to 0.92 kgCO₂e, a reduction of 45%.
The emission calculation is based on the energy data below. Our energy consumption per kilogram of product fell from 7.66 kWh in 2023 to 7.23 kWh in 2025; our target for 2028 is 5.99 kWh.
| Year | Natural gas | Grid electricity | Solar (PV) | I-REC | Solar share of electricity | kWh / kg product | Shipments, t | Scope 2 location-based, tCO₂e |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

The certificates were redeemed on behalf of our plant by Rönesans Elektrik Enerji Toptan Satış A.Ş. for Scope 2 reporting. Each statement can be checked in the I-REC registry (Evident) using its verification key.
| Period | MWh | Verification key |
|---|---|---|
| 2024-01-01 – 2024-08-31 | 2,659 | 28219752 |
| 2024-09-01 – 2025-04-30 | 3,004 | 38759793 |
| 2025-05-01 – 2025-12-31 | 1,476 | 11202813 |
The statements total 7,139 MWh. Grid electricity consumed over the same period was 7,784 MWh, of which 91.7% was covered by certificates. The statement covering two calendar years is allocated between them by number of days.
Savings figures are engineering estimates made before each project. The measures focus mainly on the steam system, heat recovery and process automation.
