TURKEY’S FOREIGN DEPENDENCY OF ENERGY AND SOLUTIONS

Abstract

In today’s world, electricity, house heating, transportation, and other energy consumption areas are supplied by fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas, and this causes an increase in ozone gaseous emission which is mainly carbon dioxide, methane, nitrogen oxides hydrofluorocarbons and sulfur hexaflor. As a result this warming of the atmosphere, melting of the iceberg of poles, increase in sea level, change of rain regime, and finally cause the total change of climate occurs. If this trend can not be stopped catastrophe process will occur in the future which means life in the world will disappear.

With the Ukraine-Russia war, the energy crisis and energy dependency abroad has become a significant issue. Using clean energy Technologies supplying energy efficiency, energy economy, and versatility of sources. On the other hand dependence on our energy supply abroad reaches 73% and while overcoming this disadvantage by using our native energy source, lignite, we should use the Technologies to control the SO₂ emissions and CO₂ release. In this study Turkey’s energy statistics and energy demand estimates are investigated., and research results about the renewable and clean energy potentials of Turkey are given.
