The Turkish Coal Operations Authority (TKİ) is the state-owned enterprise which mines lignite coal in Turkey. Turkey is the third-largest lignite producer in the world, [1] with 7% of total production. [2] In 2018 TKI mined 30 Mt of which 16 Mt was open pit and 14 Mt underground: and in the same year 20 Mt was sold, 12.6 Mt to power plants and 7.4 Mt to industry and households. [3] TKİ is on the Global Coal Exit List compiled by the NGO Urgewald (in German). [4] It employs about 4000 people. [5]: 34
TKI's annual capital expenditure was ₺198 million (US$57 million) per year between 2016 and 2017., [6] and the largest lignite mine in Turkey is Afşin-Elbistan. [7] TKİ had been profitable but made losses in 2016 and 2017, [8] and in 2021 the Court of Accounts criticised TKİ for losses which could continue for decades. [9]
Ventilation air from some mines such as Soma Eynez, contains significant methane; in 2019 studies were being done on how to capture it. [10]
