The Green Transformation Program is a special incentive program covering investments that are compatible with environmental sustainability goals, provide resource efficiency, and promote low-carbon production. This program is carried out by the General Directorate of Strategic Research and Productivity.
Investments under this program are expected to serve the following principles:
Below are some examples of investment areas that can be supported under this program:
| Investment Area | Example Applications | |
|---|---|---|
| ⚡ | Energy Efficiency | Waste heat to energy recovery systems, modernizations that reduce energy consumption in existing facilities, cogeneration/trigeneration plants. |
| ♻️ | Waste Management and Recycling | Converting industrial waste into raw materials through recycling, waste-to-energy production (biogas, etc.), hazardous waste disposal facilities. |
| 💧 | Water Efficiency | Closed-loop systems that reduce water consumption in production, water treatment and reuse technologies. |
| ☀️ | Renewable Energy Integration | Solar Power Plants (SPP) or Wind Power Plants (WPP) to be installed on factory roofs or land, solely for self-consumption. |
| 📦 | Sustainable Materials | Production of biodegradable packaging, developing new products from recycled raw materials, production of green chemicals as an alternative to fossil fuels. |
Green transformation-focused investments can be supported through two different powerful programs, depending on the investment amount:
| Support Channel | Required Minimum Investment Amount | Advantage Provided |
|---|---|---|
| 🎯 Strategic Move Program | At least 50 Million TRY | Opportunity to benefit from the highest rates of tax, SSI, and financial support. |
| ⭐ Priority Investments Incentive System | In regions 1 & 2: 12 Million TRY In regions 3-6: 6 Million TRY |
Benefit from powerful incentives equivalent to 5th region support, regardless of the region. |
For green transformation investments, there is also no obligation to be included in the list of fixed investment topics (ANNEX-3) within the incentive system. This means that even if the subject of the investment is not on the decision annex lists, the project's green transformation nature and its environmental benefits are sufficient for it to be supported. This situation increases the program's flexibility and makes it possible for a very wide range of investments to be included in the scope of support.
Projects approved under this program can benefit from all or part of the following supports, depending on the chosen support channel (Strategic or Priority):
The Green Transformation Program is a unique opportunity for investors who want to both fulfill their environmental responsibilities and achieve long-term cost advantages and efficiency gains. This program, open to all businesses without sector limitations, positions sustainability not as a cost item, but as a profitable area of investment.
