Indoing so we hope to have provided a new methodology for Turkey in measuring green economy.To our knowledge this has not been utilized elsewhere. Special attention is given to Germanywhich is the largest trading partner of Turkey in our definition of green products. 41 productsthat fell under the broad sectors of Renewable Energy and Green Infrastructure，TransportTechnologies, and Green Friendly construction were analyzed during the trade analysis.

Following the trade analysis, this paper presents two additional chapters to deepen the discussionon the Green Economy.First,it employs a recent methodology developed by Neave o'clery,Muhammed Ali Yildmr1m, and Ricardo Hausmann.These scientists have created a productiveecosystem map based on the Ricardian Comparative Advantage theory.
