Abstract

The main aim of this study was to determine the electricity
production based daily and hourly emissions profile. Electricity
production based hourly and daily emissions are calculated by
utilizing long period data. It is determined as CO2 intensity of
electricity generation fluctuates with both hour and day. Maximum,
minımum and the average CO2 intensity of electricity generation
amounts are determined. It varies from 384g/kWh to 738g/kWh, 580g/kWh
in average. According to hourly bases analyzes, highest CO2 intensity
of electricity generation occurs between 06:00 and 07:00. According
to Turkey’s power plant utilization characteristics and electricity
demand, lowest CO2 intensity of electricity generation occurs between
April 1st and 20th for Turkey. The highest CO2 intensity per kWh
electricity occurs during the New Year season. The highest CO2
intensity of electricity generation occurs in Sunday despite the
lowest electricity demand. The annual total of 161 Mt CO2 is released
to atmosphere as a result of electricity generation. Electricity
production based CO2 emission per capita is calculated as 2.025 ton
CO2.
