OECD Türkiye Fossil Fuel Support Data

Provides detailed information on fossil fuel support mechanisms implemented in Türkiye between 2020 and 2023. This data, compiled from OECD statistics and national reports, highlights various government interventions, including tax exemptions and direct subsidies, related to the production and consumption of fossil fuels such as oil, natural gas, and coal. It offers an essential view of energy policy dynamics, illustrating how financial support is distributed during a crucial period of energy transition. The dataset enables researchers and policymakers to evaluate the scale of subsidies and understand their implications for climate goals.

Year: The specific year when the support was provided, helping in understanding temporal trends in subsidies. Fossil_Fuel_Type: Classifies the type of fossil fuel supported (e.g., Oil, Natural Gas, Coal, General Fossil Fuel Support), allowing for comparative studies across energy sources. Support_Type: Specifies the nature of the support provided, such as consumption-based or production-based assistance. Observation_Value: Represents the reported monetary value of the support, expressed in Turkish Lira, indicating the financial impact of each intervention. Observation_Value_Numeric: The numeric representation of the support value suitable for calculations and quantitative analysis. Monetary_Impact: Describes the severity of the financial impact. High Impact is the most commonly recorded status. Support_Structure_Name: Provides context on the type of intervention (e.g., Fossil Fuel Support - Türkiye). Instrument_Description: Details the specific financial instrument used for the support, such as tax exemptions or direct subsidies (e.g., Support for Domestic Oil, Natural Gas and Coal Exploration). YoY_Change: Contains the year-over-year percentage change for each support type, offering a longitudinal view of fluctuation. Is_Recurring: A boolean indicator showing if the support mechanism is provided regularly (all records show 'true'). Trend: Indicates whether the support value is Increasing (the majority trend at 61%), Stable, or Decreasing over the observation period.

The data usually comes in a CSV format. This particular collection contains 224 valid data points across the four-year period. The financial values are reported in Turkish Lira. Seventy-one percent of the support mechanisms are categorised as Tax Relief, and 56% of the interventions are flagged as having a High Monetary Impact.

Policy Analysis: Evaluate how fossil fuel support aligns with Türkiye's climate commitments and identify areas for subsidy reform. Data Science Projects: Utilise this dataset for exploratory data analysis, machine learning models, or predictive analytics to understand energy trends. Public Awareness: Create visualisations to educate the public about fossil fuel support and its implications for environmental sustainability. Economic Modelling: Develop models to understand the implications of continued fossil fuel support on national economies.

Geographic: The dataset focuses exclusively on support mechanisms within Türkiye. Time Range: The information spans the crucial period between 2020 and 2023. Scope: It includes support mechanisms, categorized by fuel type (Oil, Natural Gas, Coal) and intervention type, detailing direct subsidies, tax exemptions, and R&D assistance.
