A Strategic Solution to Turkey’s Intermediate Goods Problem: Ceyhan Energy Specialized Industrial Zone
Öz
There is an on-going demand for energy from hydrocarbon compounds and intermediate goods in meeting the need for both production and intermediate products. The European Union and Turkey’s need for energy and intermediate goods are provided by petroleum and natural gas imported from geographically nearest energy regions through pipelines. In this study, a strategic solution to demand for energy in Turkey is proposed. Furthermore, information about the energy status, the chemical sector and intermediate goods imports of Turkey is provided. Considerations are proposed on the capabilities of petrochemical plants to be established in Ceyhan Energy Specialized Industrial Zone (CESIZ) as an outlet of petroleum from Azerbaijan and Iraq and a potential logistic energy base in the Eastern Mediterranean region. Ceyhan Energy Specialized Industrial Zone, as the first energy zone in Turkey and the nearby region, is introduced and the investors are briefed on the petrochemical facilities planned to be established in the zone. The importance of intermediate chemical products produced by petrochemical plants to be established in Ceyhan Energy Specialized Industrial Zone in reducing the country’s foreign trade deficit is revealed. Due to lack of studies conducted on CESIZ in the literature, this study would contribute to potential investors and academicians.
