$250 Million to Accelerate Industrial Decarbonisation
The Climate Investment Funds has endorsed $250 million in catalytic funding to support Türkiye’s industrial decarbonisation efforts.
The financing is expected to mobilise $2.8 billion in total investment, combining CIF support with financing from multilateral development banks, private investors and other sources.
The programme is designed to help Türkiye accelerate the transition of emissions-intensive industries towards cleaner production while supporting longer-term climate and economic objectives.
Focus on Hard-to-Abate Industries
The investment programme will focus on industrial activities where cutting emissions can be particularly challenging.
Its investment areas include green hydrogen, carbon capture, utilisation and storage, energy efficiency, circular economy solutions, renewable electricity and climate technologies.
These technologies are intended to help industrial companies reduce their dependence on high-emission production processes while improving access to cleaner energy and financing.
The programme will also support the development of green markets and technologies that can help companies transition towards lower-carbon production.
$2.8 Billion Investment Mobilisation
The CIF funding is intended to act as catalytic funding, helping attract substantially larger amounts of investment into industrial decarbonisation.
The wider financing package is expected to include contributions from multilateral development banks alongside private investors and other financing sources. This blended approach is designed to help overcome some of the financial barriers associated with industrial decarbonisation projects, particularly technologies that require significant upfront investment.
The initiative is expected to mobilise more than $11 for every dollar of CIF funding deployed, helping expand the impact of the initial $250 million commitment.
Emissions Target Reaches 39 Million Tonnes
A central objective of the programme is to reduce or avoid 39 million tonnes of CO₂ eq annually by 2035.
The target is intended to contribute to Türkiye’s longer-term goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2053.
The programme also connects industrial investment with the country’s developing climate policy and emissions-pricing framework. Its investment priorities are aligned with Türkiye’s climate and industrial policies, including its 2025 Climate Law and pilot national emissions trading system.

SMEs and Women-Led Businesses Included
The programme is not limited to large industrial companies. It aims to improve access to green financing for approximately 378 businesses by 2035.
Small and medium-sized enterprises and women-led businesses are among the groups receiving particular attention.
This focus could broaden participation in Türkiye’s industrial transition by helping businesses that may face greater challenges accessing capital for cleaner technologies and production processes.
The programme also incorporates considerations around a just transition, gender equality and social inclusion as industrial sectors undergo structural changes.
Multilateral Banks to Deliver Financing
The CIF financing will be implemented through multilateral development bank partners, including the Asian Development Bank, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and World Bank Group institutions.
The Türkiye Industrial Decarbonisation Investment Platform will provide an important mechanism for coordinating investment and financing for industrial transformation.
The broader platform brings together public-sector institutions and international financial partners to connect industrial decarbonisation projects with suitable sources of finance and technical support.
Outlook
Türkiye’s $250 million CIF-backed programme could become an important test of how catalytic climate finance can unlock much larger pools of capital for industrial decarbonisation. The planned $2.8 billion mobilisation target places significant emphasis on bringing multilateral and private financing together to support cleaner industrial investment.
The programme’s 2035 targets also give investors and policymakers measurable milestones to track, including the potential reduction or avoidance of 39 million tonnes of CO₂ equivalent annually and improved access to green finance for hundreds of businesses.
For Türkiye, the initiative could accelerate investment in green hydrogen, carbon capture, renewable electricity, energy efficiency and circular economy solutions while supporting the country’s longer-term 2053 net-zero ambition.
