AN EVALUATION OF RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES IN TURKEY IN RESPECT OF ENVIRONMENT AND ECONOMY
Abstract
In recent years, all over the world and in Turkey, as aresult of, increasing population, industrial and urban developpment and reasing life standarts, the fosil fuels have dramatically been used up and caused environmental pollution. Since it has been recognized that energy sources such as petroleum and coal are non renewable energy sources and they are limited, researches have been concentrated on the biomass energy, wind energy, solar energy and hydro-energy which are renewable and obtained easily in all world. As well as known cost of vthese renewable energy reseorces is not high. They don’t run out because of the renewable feature and unlike the conventional resources they don’t make a threat for environment and human being health. Turkey is a rich country from the point of variety and potential of renewable energy resources. For example; It has the 8\% of the geothermal energy potential in the world which does not exist in most countries. On the other hand, Turkey is also one of the countries in the world which has high amount of hydro-energy potential and it gets large amount of solar energy due to its geographical place in the world. In this study, Turkey вЂs existing condition and more effective use its potential renewable resources in respect of environment and economy have been investigated. And some proposals are presented in order to solve Turkey вЂs energy problem without harming the environment.
