In this context, initiatives will be launched to create an exemplary green industrial zone with which possess criterias for prioritizing clean production completely, leveraging the renewable energy potential and hydrogen production advantage of the region. The feasibility study for Türkiye's first green industrial zone will be conducted, including an Energy Specialization Area, an Advanced Materials Technology Specialization Zone, and a Mixed Zone for investors in the chemical-metallurgy sector, along with port infrastructure, encompassing the Bandırma Energy Base.

South Marmara Green Industry Zone (Günmar-YEB) will be divided into four sub-specialization areas:

1-Energy Specialization Area: A dedicated zone for investors focused on the development of technologies related to new and renewable energy systems, as well as the production of machinery, equipment, and parts for these sectors. In this regard, the "Bandırma Energy Base," designed as a renewable energy park, will hold a critical position.

2-Advanced Material Technologies Specialization Area: Investments in this area will be prioritized on the production of advanced ceramic products, engineering plastics and high-performance plastics, qualified steel and enhanced metal products, specialty-functional construction products, and products for the defense industry. The production of boron end products in the Bandırma region and the addition of new boron chemicals to critical products are highly important for material technologies. Boron can impart unique properties to new and innovative materials, making it critical for companies operating in this field. The proximity of Eti Maden, which dominates over 60% of the global boron chemicals market, to the new industrial zone will significantly enhance the area's appeal and contribute to its promotion. Türkiye needs to create a strong synergy to increase the share of advanced and high-tech products in exports. The South Marmara Green Industry Zone is poised to be a crucial tool in providing this desired impetus.

3-Chemistry & Metallurgy Mixed Industry Zone: The chemical sector, which has set an export target of $50 million for the year 2023, operates with a 75% reliance on imported raw materials. Reducing this dependence to reasonable levels by domestically producing critical raw materials is a highly strategic matter for Türkiye. Therefore, the mixed zone will focus on the clean production of chemicals that Türkiye heavily relies on their imports. Additionally, the mineral richness of Balıkesir and Çanakkale presents an opportunity for the development of the metal industry. As a region with a robust energy infrastructure, the South Marmara region is seen as an attractive center for the energy-intensive sector of metallurgical industry.

4-Liman Infrastructure: Bandırma Port is currently constrained within the city limits, limiting the expansion of its hinterland. Türkiye, with the goal of boosting production and exports, must strategically plan a multi-purpose port investment in the South Marmara region, integrated with the industrial zone.

In this green industrial zone, which will be designed together with port infrastructure, investments will be accepted based on environmentally determined criteria, and investors will be required to commit to using green energy, especially hydrogen, and to reducing, reusing, or disposing of waste. After the opening of the 1915 Çanakkale Bridge, a new era can be said to have begun in industry, especially for the Bandırma-Biga line and the entire South Marmara region. The region's renewable energy potential is seen as the most potent tool available for a clean industry.
