Monitoring, reporting and verification of greenhouse gas emissions in the fertiliser sector were the focus of a meeting coordinated by Türkiye’s Climate Change Presidency. Its announcement dated 15 October 2026 describes technical discussions centred on measurement system effectiveness, reliable results and data quality.

Fertiliser sector in the pilot context
The Presidency identifies fertiliser as one of five priority sectors during the pilot implementation period under the Türkiye Emissions Trading System Regulation. The meeting brought together representatives of that sector and verification bodies. Its stated sectoral scope therefore concerns emissions monitoring, reporting and verification associated with fertiliser production. The announcement does not name the other four priority sectors; the technical agenda described is specific to fertiliser.

Volkan Polat, Head of the Greenhouse Gas Emissions Monitoring Department, chaired the meeting. Participants examined the effective use of Continuous Emissions Measurement Systems, known by the Turkish abbreviation SEÖS, in monitoring the sector’s greenhouse gas emissions. The reliability of measurement results and ways to improve data quality were also discussed in detail. The announcement provides no numerical information about an individual facility’s measurement performance or any equipment results.

The meeting also addressed how SEÖS data are used in emissions monitoring and reporting. The Presidency reports technical assessments concerning the accurate, consistent and reliable use of these data. Its account presents measurement reliability and the use of data in reporting as distinct subjects within the same agenda. With verification body representatives participating, the meeting’s overall remit covered monitoring, reporting and verification.

The published text reports a completed meeting and the technical subjects considered. It does not announce the adoption of a new regulation, a regulatory proposal or a new reporting timetable for operators. Nor does it specify measurement thresholds, numerical quality targets or follow-up implementation steps. The concrete development is therefore the technical discussion with fertiliser sector and verification body representatives about the quality and use of emissions data.
