“…By contrast, in the period of the greatest reduction in CO 2 /VA (2015-2021), LOAN/VA had a stable or decreasing trend. Indeed, between 2005 and 2021, Turkey increased both CO 2 emissions and value added, but the former increased less than the latter (see Figure A2b in Appendix A), mainly due to replacement of coal with alternative sources (natural gas, electric heating, solar energy, and wind energy) [27]. In addition, in the same period, Turkish banks increased loans to the most polluting sectors (17-Electric, Gas and Water Resources, 19-Retail Sale of Motor Vehicles and Its Fuel Oil, 21-26-Transportations) relative to the other sectors (Figure A1).…”

We studied the impact of major floods occurring in Turkey between 2005 and 2020 on lending and the allocation of loans between sectors that differ in their CO2 emissions. Our evidence shows that the floods are not significant determinants of lending or the allocation of loans between sectors, even though CO2 emissions contribute to the reallocation of loans from the more polluting to the less polluting sectors. Indeed, risks and returns of the sector remain the main determinants of lending and of the allocation of loans among sectors. The results are robust to alternative estimation methods and specifications of the econometric models. Since in the period of investigation no environmental regulations were implemented in Turkey, and the Paris Agreement was ratified only at end-2021, the evidence suggests that more stringent regulations and green policies are required to accelerate the green transition in Turkey.

“…Because coal is an important energy source [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8], research on the safety of coal production has become more detailed [9][10][11][12][13][14][15]. The development law of mining fractures of overlying strata and the traditional "three zones" theory is the basis for the research of first mining the underside coal seam mining to protect the coal group [16][17][18][19][20].…”

To design underside protective seam strip layout. Similarity model experiments, numerical simulations and theoretical calculations are used to quantitatively study the pressure relief protection effect of different strip widths, dip angles and coal pillar widths of a thin underside protective seam under deeply buried conditions. The optimal strip width range is obtained according to the change law of strain during the mining process of the underside protective seam in a similar model experiment. The change law of the expansion of the protected coal seam is obtained and the fitting surfaces among the dip angle and strip width of the coal seam with the protection distance and pressure relief angle along the strike and dip of the protected coal seam are established according to the numerical simulation results of underside protective seam mining. It is concluded that the best pressure relief effect can be achieved when the dip angle is 16.7° and the strip width is 70 m. According to the stability threshold of coal pillars considered in strip mining theory, the coal pillar width is calculated to be 50 m. Similarity model experiments and numerical simulations of protected coal seam mining verify the pressure relief effect of the designed protective seam strip width and pillar width. A calculation method of the protective seam strip width, position and pillar width required by the specific width of the protected seam is proposed.
