Background

In 2018, an official from Yapi Tek confirmed that the company "has taken over the Kutahya Tavsanli field, which holds coal with a calorific value of 2,000 kcal/kg and which has previously been in production but is currently not producing. The field has lignite reserves of 24.75 million mt, of which they expect to extract up to 1.8 million mt/year." As of April 2020, the project is not currently listed on the company's official website.
