A Century of Warming in Türkiye: Why COP31 and Carbon Capture Technology Are More Connected Than Ever

Visualizing a Century of Change Climate change is frequently framed in abstract terms — global averages, distant projections, targets for 2050. At HELIOS, we believe the story becomes far more urgent, and far more actionable, when it is grounded in a specific place. That is why we built an animation tracing Türkiye's annual temperature trend across more than 100 years. The pattern is unmistakable: while individual years rise and fall, the long-term trajectory of warming is increasingly difficult to ignore.

Carbon Capture and Storage 101

Fossil fuels still dominate the global energy mix and industries like cement and steel still continue to release vast amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere. It is true that our renewable energy capacity is expanding at record pace but we need to close the loop capturing the carbon dioxide and securely storing it rather than letting it enter the atmosphere in the first place. This key technology is called carbon capture and storage (CCS) and it can help us to reach net zero.

Helios Earns Support from KOSGEB Entrepreneurial Program

Helios SciTech Secures Strategic Backing via KOSGEB’s National Entrepreneurship Framework to Accelerate Carbon Capture Innovation Helios SciTech is proud to announce a major institutional milestone: we have been officially awarded support under the nationwide KOSGEB Traditional Entrepreneurial Support Program in Türkiye. This prestigious recognition serves as a powerful catalyst for our corporate trajectory, providing the strategic momentum required to advance our high-impact projects and scale our operations within the global climate-tech landscape. This partnership with KOSGEB is not merely a financial achievement; it is a definitive validation of our business model and a significant contribution to our long-term growth journey in the competitive green energy sector. For the team at Helios, this development represents a "big vote of confidence" in our overarching mission to mitigate climate change through cutting-edge carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) technologies. In an era where industrial decarbonization is no longer optional but a global necessity, the strategic encouragement provided by KOSGEB allows us to intensify our R&D efforts. This support reinforces our commitment to developing proprietary technical solutions that are both economically viable and environmentally transformative, positioning Helios SciTech as a key player in Türkiye's burgeoning sustainable technology ecosystem. With the institutional weight of KOSGEB behind us, we are now uniquely positioned to accelerate our commercialization phase. This backing enables us to bridge the gap between theoretical research and industrial-scale application, allowing us to deploy our solutions faster across various carbon-intensive sectors. By optimizing our supply chain and enhancing our manufacturing capabilities, we are ready to scale our carbon reduction systems to meet the rigorous demands of both domestic and international markets. Our objective is to set new benchmarks for efficiency in the transition to a net-zero economy.
