Background

Demir Madencilik Petrol Products plans to build a 160 MW domestic coal-fired DETES-1 Integrated Thermal Power Plant in Zonguldak. The EIA is underway.[2] A meeting to review the plant's plan for coal ash storage and discharge was scheduled for October 2017.[3]

A leading environmental engineer claims cancer causing airborne particles (PM10) already exceed WHO limits due to existing local coal plants, and that ash storage would cause significant air and sea pollution.[4]

As of November 2021 there has been no progress on the plant in more than four years, and it appears to be cancelled.
