Sultan Turut Balioglu

Bio

As an energy specialist with 10+ years of experience in the Energy Market Regulatory Authority of Turkiye, I hold dual degrees in Economics and Law, which have helped me to gain a comprehensive understanding of the complex legal and economic factors that influence the energy markets. I am currently studying Energy Law LLM at the University of Aberdeen, where the city is regarded as the European capital of oil and gas. I am keen on the green hydrogen and decarbonising oil and gas sectors.
