Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma İçin Yenilenebilir Enerji Kaynaklarının Türkiye Ölçeğinde Değerlendirilmesi

Abstract

The need for energy resources on earth is growing day by day. In developing countries, the population and the living standards of societies are increasing day by day, and industrialization activities are becoming widespread. It is an inevitable fact that the need for energy will increase in parallel with technological progress and will increase even more in the coming years. Natural energy sources, called fossil fuels, have been widely used for years to meet the need for energy from the past to the present. The fact that these fossil fuels cause significant environmental problems around the world and have run out of reserves in recent history poses a significant problem. Renewable energy sources are the most important alternative for the use of fossil fuel-dependent resources in the supply and providement of energy. During this period, when interest in renewable energy is growing, Turkey makes significant investments with incentives through both the private sector and the state channel. It has a very rich infrastructure and raw materials in terms of similar renewable energy sources. In this study, Turkey's current energy potential was examined and recent developments, investments and recent status in the field of renewable energy were evaluated.
