CO2 emissions refer to the release of carbon dioxide gas into the atmosphere, primarily resulting from human activities such as the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas), industrial processes, deforestation, and agriculture. Increasing CO2 levels create a greenhouse effect, leading to global climate change. Turkey is committed to environmental sustainability and combating climate change on both national and international levels. In this context, Turkey has set a Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) for the 2020-2030 period, aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 21% compared to 2005 levels by 2030. Turkey’s strategies to reduce CO2 emissions include promoting the transition to renewable energy sources, enhancing energy efficiency, adopting clean technologies in the industrial sector, expanding the use of electric vehicles and public transportation, and supporting sustainable agricultural practices. Under the Paris Agreement, Turkey has committed to limiting global temperature rise to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels, and to pursue efforts to limit the increase to 1.5 degrees Celsius. This study aims to fill a significant gap by forecasting Turkey's CO2 emissions using the ANFIS (Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System) method. By analyzing Turkey’s historical CO2 emission data, this research seeks to predict future emission trends. The results can provide crucial guidance for forming sustainable development strategies, shaping energy policies, and conducting environmental impact assessments. Additionally, the success of the ANFIS model in CO2 emission forecasting can inspire similar studies and contribute significantly to future research in this field. This study emphasizes Turkey’s efforts to reduce CO2 emissions and the importance of forecasting studies using the ANFIS method, while detailing strategies to comply with the commitments of the Paris Agreement.

Governments primarily face the basic conundrums that arise from balancing environmental concerns with economic growth. In this content, since most research focuses on the cases of countries or groups of countries, a significant gap exists in how economic growth and energy consumption influence environmental pollution processes at the regional or provincial level. This study is the first to investigate the effects of energy consumption and economic growth on environmental pollution in the TR90 region of Türkiye (including the provinces of Artvin, Giresun, Gümüşhane, Ordu, Rize, and Trabzon) for the years 2007–2021 in the framework of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis. This study utilizes the innovative Method of Moments Quantile Regression (MMQR) approach to investigate these effects. The MMQR results support the EKC hypothesis, which contends that environmental pollution rises in the early stages of economic growth but then declines as growth levels reach a turning point. Furthermore, the results demonstrate that increasing energy consumption exacerbates environmental pollution in the TR90 region.

Küresel ısınma, iklim değişikliği, karbon salınımı vb. çevresel sorunlara ek olarak ekolojik ayak izine yönelik gerçekleştirilen bilimsel çalışmalar son yıllarda ivme kazanmıştır. Türkiye’ye ait verilerin kullanıldığı bu çalışmada, 1980 – 2021 dönemi esas alınmış ve ekolojik ayak izi üzerinde kentleşme, ekonomik büyüme, dış ticaret açığı ile enerji tüketiminin etkilerinin ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. A-ARDL sınır testi yaklaşımının benimsendiği araştırmada ilk olarak eş bütünleşmenin varlığı ortaya konulmuştur. Analizin bulgularına bakıldığında, ekonomik büyümenin ve enerji tüketiminin hem uzun hem de kısa dönemde çevreyi olumsuz etkilediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Modele yönelik hata terimleri katsayısı elde edilmiş ve bu katsayı ile gerçekleşen hesaplamalarda kısa dönemde oluşabilecek sapmaların yaklaşık %80’lik bir bölümü sonraki dönemde düzeleceği tespit edilmiştir. Bu çalışmaya ait sonuçların çevre politikaları ve stratejilerine katkı sağlayabileceği düşünülmektedir.

Serious environmental challenges such as global warming and climate change have captured a growing amount of public awareness in the last decade. Besides monetary incentives, the drive for environmental preservation and the pursuit of a sustainable energy source have contributed to an increased recognition of energy usage within the industrial sector. Meanwhile, the challenge of energy efficiency stands out as a major focal point for researchers and manufacturers alike. Efficient assembly line balancing plays a vital role in enhancing production effectiveness. The robotic two-sided assembly line balancing problem (RTALBP) commonly arises in manufacturing facilities that produce large-sized products in high volumes. In this scenario, multiple robots are placed at each assembly line station to manufacture the product. The utilization of robots is extensive within two-sided assembly lines, primarily driven by elevated labour expenses. However, this adoption has resulted in the challenge of increasing energy consumption. Therefore, in this study, a new hybrid genetic algorithm is introduced, incorporating an adaptive local search mechanism. for the mixed-model robotic two-sided assembly line balancing problems with sequence-dependent setup times. This algorithm has two main objectives: minimizing cycle time (time-based approach) and overall energy consumption (energy-based approach). Depending on managerial priorities, either the time-based or energy-based model can be chosen for different production timeframes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In recent years, the increasing motorized vehicle utilization threats the environmental pollution and climate change by raising the fossil fuels utilization. One of the approaches taken to reduce the impact of this situation is bicycle utilization as a transportation vehicle. Bicycle is a sustainable transportation vehicle as does not consume fossil fuels; thus, it reduces environmental pollution and uses energy sources effectively. But, to achieve this, the decisions on bikeways selection must be made in line with feasibility studies. The aim of this study is to offer an approach for sustainable bikeways selection by making evaluations over specific criteria by means of analysis tools. 9 main criteria as physical and proximity criteria have been determined and these criteria have been ranked according to their importance degrees by different stakeholders. Then, the weighted scores of criteria have been calculated according to their importance degrees as a piece of Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). In this direction, while the slope criterion has been determined as the most important criterion with its 0.1925 points, the proximity to public buildings has been the criterion that has the lowest score with 0.0579 points. 9 different maps have been created by assigning weighted scores to maps and the spatial analyses have been made by means of ArcMap 10.7 tool. Finally, the created maps have been overlapped and sustainable bikeways selection has been made for Balıkesir city center. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The objective of this paper is to examine whether the health expenditures and energy consumption affect the economic growth for Asia Pacific and Scandinavian countries for the period between 2000-2021 using panel data analysis. Most of the previous studies have focused on the relationship between health expenditures and economic growth and energy consumption and economic growth. While the recent health concerns caused by pandemics emphasize the importance of increasing resources allocated to health, the increase in energy capacity and its impact on the environment with the increase in the world population and thus production are among the issues that need to be investigated. Healthy people will be more productive and contribute more to the growth of the economy. In this context, the analysis conducted in this study shows that health expenditures affect economic growth in both Asia Pacific and Scandinavian countries. In the same period, energy consumption does not affect economic growth for both regions. In this respect, the study shows that investments in health services support economic growth. The findings obtained will help to develop economic policies in theory and practice in line with sustainable growth targets. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study examines the shares of sectors (agriculture, services, industry, transportation and other sectors) in total energy consumption in OECD countries for the period 2011-2020 using Louvain cluster analysis. Energy consumption is an important development indicator and provides important information about the development of countries. In particular, the analysis of the shares of energy consumption of main sectors such as agriculture, services, industry and transport sectors can provide important information about a country's economic diversity, level of industrialization and economic focus. Cluster analysis can provide important insights by identifying countries with similar energy consumption patterns. Louvain cluster analysis was preferred in this study. Louvain clustering has the advantage of being fast and dealing with noise compared to K-means and Hierarchical clustering methods. The results of the study are evaluated from two perspectives. The first one is the inferences obtained from the descriptive statistics of the data set and the second one is the inferences obtained from the clustering analysis. The results of the cluster analysis emphasize the insights offered by the cluster changes in the temporal dimension and the formation of year-based clusters. In addition, the insights provided by the clustering results for Türkiye are evaluated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study will focus on public transportation problems in terms of energy consumption, excessive travel time, and fares. The study seeks the best solutions for such concerns in the Izmir case. It aims to optimize these subjects for the tramway and bus systems, which are comparable in terms of origin and destination points. This study, also, draws attention to the integration issue of the transportation modes. The methods employed in this study are linear programming and sensitivity analysis. For this study, nine routes, which have both tramway and bus lines, were determined. The routes sharing the same transfer points were taken to investigate which transportation type would be the most convenient or useful, what their drawbacks and positive outcomes would be, and which one would be environmentally friendly, with especially the lowest cost. For linear programming, the Solver tool of Microsoft Excel® software was utilized. Initially, the objective functions were identified as minimization of energy consumption, minimization of route length and minimization of passenger costs. The data about energy consumptions, speeds, and passenger volumes were collected are constraints of optimizations. Finally, sensitivity analysis was conducted to assess the findings. The best solutions with bus and tram options were found for both passengers and operators. Optimal routes are Fahrettin Altay-Alsancak, Fahrettin Altay-Halkapınar, Mavişehir-Bostanlı and Egekent-Bostanlı. The study contributes to the literature using the time matrix besides to the transport cost matrix. Thus, this research serves not only for monetary aims but also for environmental and social aims.

Economic growth refers to increased per capita real gross domestic product (GDP). Economic growth is one of the most critical indicators that demonstrate the level of development in countries. In this context, countries aim to achieve economic growth. As a result of the Industrial Revolution, there has been an increase in energy consumption to achieve economic growth, leading to the release of harmful waste into the environment. The Industrial Revolution also increased the urban population, contributing to increased energy consumption. The increased energy consumption for various reasons has led to an escalation in environmental issues. Countries have increased their energy consumption to achieve economic growth, causing increased carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The study examines the relationship between economic growth, energy consumption, and CO2 emissions for the MIST (Mexico, Indonesia, South Korea, and Turkey) group of countries using annual data from 1971 to 2014. Additionally, the study includes urbanization data as a control variable. The study investigates the co-integration relationship between economic growth, energy consumption, CO2 emissions, and urbanization variables, followed by coefficient estimation using the OLS-CD method. The coefficient estimation reveals that while electricity consumption reduces CO2 emissions, urbanization and economic growth increase CO2 emissions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In order to maintain environmental sustainability, it is crucial to address the transportation sector's explosive growth and the emissions that accompany it. Therefore, understanding the derivation factor of transportation emissions is of utmost importance. In the face of increasing transport emissions, it is important to expand the role of electric vehicles (EVs). An eco-friendly economy and low-carbon economy are made possible by electric automobiles. Energy consumption models that can accurately and consistently forecast energy use are critical to the successful deployment of electric vehicles. Enhancing EVs' energy efficiency will help reduce driver anxiety a great deal and offer a foundation for organizing, operating, and managing the infrastructure for charging. To overcome the challenges in estimating the energy consumption of electric vehicles, data was collected in Aichi Prefecture, Japan. In the study, traditional machine learning models, Multi Output, Gradient Boosting, XGBoost and Random Forest were used to predict the energy consumption of electric vehicles. The prediction models were assessed using the coefficient of determination (R2), mean absolute error (MAE), and root mean square error (RMSE). The forecasting results reveal that the regression model with the combination of Gradient Boosting and Multi Output performs well. Gradient Boosting and Multi Output based models with higher R2 values and lower MAE and RMSE values are proved to be more accurate To demonstrate the effect and relative influence of various input variables on the energy consumption forecast of electric vehicles, a thorough important feature analysis is carried out. The findings demonstrate that a sophisticated machine learning model can enhance the accuracy of electric car energy consumption predictions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Cloud computing is one of the newest computing paradigms that emerged after worldwide development of Internet infrastructure. It is a technology that saves both large companies and small and medium scale companies as well as independent developers from the cost of keeping infrastructure hardware up to date, and operational while also providing flexibility on resource use as well providing additional opportunity to minimize data losses. While in the future, it is evident that demand for cloud computing will be on the rise. These kinds of datacenters, due to their nature, consume large amounts of energy and even the savings on smallest scales will enable these gigantic centers to save a significant amount of energy in total. If we have a look at the literature, we can see green computing is gaining immense popularity over the years. The Cloud Scheduling problem is a proven problem to be NP-Hard, aiming to find the best solution for a limited number of cloud resources, which could theoretically be serving an unlimited number of user demands. In this study, firstly, an experimental workload / power consumption model is proposed for a server computer, and then two genetic algorithms optimizing makespan and energy consumption are compared on these metrics at different server loads. As a result, it has been seen that these two criteria are closely related to each other, and it has been determined that optimizing the energy criterion has a more positive effect between 10% and 13% compared to the time criterion optimization at full or near full server loads. In this way, it has been shown that significant energy savings can be achieved by using energy optimization as an objective function at high server loads. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Effective and efficient energy consumption, environmental sensitivities, climate change, and global warming are significant issues that the world is currently focusing on. Industrial refrigerators are the devices that have significant effects under the mentioned headings. Environmental sensitivities should be valued when improving innovative designs for effective and efficient energy consumption in industrial refrigerators. Moreover, with both international and national regulations recently, designs to be made at this point have become an obligation rather than a necessity. This study aims to use energy effectively and efficiently, creating an energy efficiency factor in industrial refrigerators; various aspects, such as components, insulation, refrigerant, control technique, ambient conditions, cooling cycle, and airflow were studied from different perspectives and grouped, and the outputs obtained as a result of the studies were compiled. The grouped and compiled outputs were presented title-based and optimum solutions in terms of energy efficiency were discussed. The presented outputs will be used as effective design inputs in the studies carried out by researchers and product manufacturers, thus, as a result of innovative studies that create energy efficiency, designs with substantial environmental sensitivity, especially carbon emissions, will emerge. In addition, it thought that innovative and efficient designs would make direct and indirect contributions to the economy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Drying of timber is an inevitable process in quality production. Today, there are drying kilns that their environmental conditions can be controlled. However, this control flexibility also brings with it attention to every variable in the environmental conditions. In this study, it was tried to determine the air movement speed of these variables, its effect on drying and the effect of the gap closing board (panel) placed to direct the air movement to improve drying conditions. In this context, approximately 10 m3 of oak lumber was dried in a dehumidifier (condensation) drying kiln with a semi-automatic control system. After drying, the moisture content of the lumbers were determined and the air movement speeds between the stack floors were measured with an anemometer from a total of 42 regions with all fans on, using two plenum chambers as a reference. The results obtained indicate that low quality or non-standard drying was carried out according to the moisture distribution criteria in the standards, as the ideal drying conditions were not achieved without installing the panel. It was determined that the air movement profile improved with the intervention made with the panel and the air was distributed more homogeneously between the stack floors. Despite the installation of panel, sufficient improvement in air movement speed could not be achieved only on the upper floors of the stack, due to a problem also mentioned in the literature. However, since only electricity is used for heating and air movement in the kiln, the electrical energy consumed during drying was also measured and correlated with the outdoor temperature in order to raise awareness. The results showed that consumption data did not change according to changes in weather conditions. It was thought that the kiln insulation performance and/or the kiln being located in a closed area were effective in this situation. It was concluded that the increased average energy consumption in the second half of drying might be according to the condensation device being activated more related to the more severe conditions required in the drying program.

Bireylerin hayatlarını sürdürebilmelerinde ve işletmelerin de mal ve hizmet üretebilmelerinde enerji kullanımına ihtiyaç vardır. Enerji, genel olarak yenilenebilir ve tükenir enerji olmak üzere iki kategoride ele alınmaktadır. Günümüzde petrol ve gaz gibi sınırlı bir kaynak olan ve yenilenemeyen enerji kullanımı birçok alanda yaygın olarak kullanılmaya devam etmektedir. Bundan dolayı alternatif enerji kaynaklarının yaygınlaştırılmasındaki yüksek finansal bütçe dikkate alındığında ve ülkelerin sahip oldukları kaynaklarını verimli bir şekilde kullanmasında finans sektörü önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Etkin bir finans sektörü ile daha düşük oranda kredi temini, kaynakların ve enerjinin tasarruflu kullanımı, risklerin yönetilmesi ve işletmelerin üretim süreçlerinde çevre dostu teknikleri kullanması gibi birçok alanda gelişim kaydedilebilmektedir. Enerji tüketimini azaltma hedefi ve alternatif enerji kaynaklarının kullanımında yüksek sermaye yatırımı ihtiyacı nedeniyle yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarında geleneksel enerji kaynaklarına göre daha fazla sermaye kullanımı görülmektedir. Yenilenebilir enerji bir ülkenin petrol ve gaz gibi ithal enerji ürünlerine olan bağımlılığını azaltmada önemli rol oynayabilmektedir. Dolayısıyla yenilenebilir enerji yatırım projelerinin geliştirilmesi ve yaygınlaştırılmasında borç ve sermaye finansmanını kolaylaştırmak için güçlü bir finansal yapıya ihtiyaç vardır. Bu bağlamda, finansal sektörün önemli bir bileşenini oluşturan katılım finans sektörü de iklim finansmanı çerçevesinde özellikle yenilenebilir enerji, iklime dayalı tarım, kentleşme, su ve ulaşım gibi alanlarda yeşil yatırım finansmanına giderek daha fazla önem vermektedir. İslami Finans Gelişim Raporu’na göre küresel katılım finans varlıkları 2021 yılında 3.9 trilyon dolar olarak gerçekleşirken 2026’da 5.9 trilyon dolara yükseleceği tahmin edilmektedir. Bu bilgiler çerçevesinde, çalışmada katılım finans alanında önde gelen ve ampirik çalışma için analiz verilerine erişilebilen Birleşik Arap Emirlikleri, Endonezya, Kuveyt, Suudi Arabistan ve Türkiye örneklemi üzerinde katılım finans gelişimi ile enerji tüketimi ve yenilenebilir enerji etkileşiminin ortaya koyulması amaçlanmıştır. Analiz edilen ülkeler belirlenirken İslami Finansal Hizmetler Kurulu tarafından yayımlanan İslami Finansal Hizmetler Endüstrisi İstikrar Raporu referans alınmıştır. Çalışmanın temel amacı doğrultusunda üç adet panel veri modeli kurulmuştur. Modellerde enerji tüketimi, karbon emisyonu ve yenilenebilir enerji kullanımı bağımlı değişkenler olarak kullanılırken katılım finans gelişimi ve kişi başı gayri safi yurtiçi hasıla bağımsız değişkenler olarak analiz edilmiştir. Katılım finans gelişimi göstergesi olarak analiz edilen ülkelerdeki katılım finansa erişim, toplam katılım finans varlıkları ve likit varlıklar ele alınmıştır. Ampirik çalışmadaki değişkenlere ait veriler, 2013-2019 periyodundaki yıllık verilerden oluşmaktadır. Panel veri analizi kapsamında öncelikle varsayımlar test edilmiş ve ardından havuzlanmış modelin tahmin edilmesine yönelik Breush-Pagan testi yapılmıştır. Bu testin ardından modelin havuzlanamayacağı ve sabit etkiler ile rassal etkiler modelleri arasındaki seçim için Hausman testi uygulanmıştır. Araştırma modelleri için yapılan panel veri analizi sonucunda enerji tüketimi ile katılım finans varlıkları arasında pozitif yönlü ilişki tespit edilirken katılım finansa erişim ile enerji tüketimi arasında negatif yönlü bir ilişki saptanmıştır. Öte yandan yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarının kullanımı ile katılım finans varlıkları arasında pozitif yönlü ilişki belirlenirken, katılım finansa erişim ile yenilenebilir enerji arasında istatistiksel olarak negatif yönlü bir ilişki ortaya koyulmuştur. Başka bir ifade ile analiz edilen ülkelerdeki katılım finans varlıkları ve katılım finansa erişim enerji tüketimini istatistiksel olarak etkilemektedir. Sonuç olarak elde edilen bulgular, katılım finansman kaynaklarının çevresel yatırım alanları için daha kolay erişilebilir olmasına işaret etmektedir. Ayrıca bulgular, katılım finansman ile enerji verimliliğini arttıran ve enerji tüketimini azaltan alternatif enerji kaynaklarına daha fazla ağırlık veren politikaların geliştirilmesi gerekliliğine işaret etmektedir.

Bu çalışmada, Konya Seydişehir ilçesinde bulunan Seydişehir Sulama Birliği sulama işletmesi çevresel etkileri yönünden değerlendirilmiştir. Bu kapsamda birliğin sulama suyu kullanım etkinliği ile sulama kaynaklı enerji tüketimi ve buna bağlı gerçekleşen sera gazı emisyonları değerlendirilmeye çalışılmıştır. Değerlendirme 2010, 2015 ve 2020 yılları için yapılmıştır. Çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlara göre; sulama birliğinde su temin oranı 2010, 2015 ve 2020 yılları için sırasıyla 0,30, 0,97 ve 1,81 olarak gerçekleşmiştir. Üç yıl için ortalama su temin oranı, 1,03 olarak belirlenmiştir. Seydişehir Sulama Birliği’nde toplam enerji tüketimi, 2010 yılında 11.616.348,9 MJ/yıl, 2015 yılında 29.006.792,6 MJ/yıl ve 2020 yılında 106.083.920,9 MJ/yıl olarak hesaplanmıştır. Birim alana karşılık enerji miktarı (EA), 2010 yılında 2.172,1 MJ/ha/yıl, 2015 yılında 8.028,5 MJ/ha/yıl ve 2020 yılında 11.898,2 MJ/ha/yıl, birim sulama suyuna karşılık enerji miktarı ise (ES), üç yıl için de 1,139 MJ/m3/yıl olarak hesaplanmıştır. Seydişehir Sulama Birliği’nde toplam emisyon miktarı, 2010 yılında 788.129,9 kgCO2eşd/yıl, 2015 yılında 1.968.012,5 kgCO2eşd/yıl ve 2020 yılında 7.197.434,2 kgCO2eşd/yıl olarak belirlenmiştir. Birim alana karşılık emisyon miktarı (SGA), 2010 yılında 147,4 kgCO2eşd/ha/yıl, 2015 yılında 544,7 kgCO2eşd/ha/yıl ve 2020 yılında 807,2 kgCO2eşd/ha/yıl, birim sulama suyuna karşılık emisyon miktarı (SGS), üç yıl için de aynı değeri sahip olup, 0,077 kgCO2eşd/m3/yıl olarak hesaplanmıştır. Çalışma sonuçlarına göre, sulama birliğinde enerji tüketimi ve sera gazı emisyonu hususunda sürekli bir artışın olduğu ve özellikle 2020 yılında artış oranının bir hayli yüksek olduğu görülmektedir. Aynı şekilde su temin oranlarında yıllara bağlı olarak artış meydana gelmiştir.

In this study, the energy consumption of a vertical closed display refrigerator (680 Liters) in day-night modes and in different product temperature classes was experimentally investigated. Closed display refrigerator works with R290 (propane) refrigerant. Moreover, non-adiabatic capillary tube (suction line heat exchanger) system is used in the vapor compression refrigeration cycle. The experimental setup was carried out and calibrated in accordance with the TS EN ISO 22044:2022 standard. Experiments were carried out for 24 hours in a test room providing a temperature of 25°C ± 0.8°C and a relative humidity of 60% ± 2%. The commercial refrigerator has been tested under full load (700 pcs. 330 ml cans), in day and night modes, and in two different temperature classes (K1 and K4). Can temperatures which tested in the K1 temperature class were kept between 0°C-7°C. These temperature values for the K4 temperature is between 1°C-9°C. In the experiments of the K1 temperature class, 3.255 kWh/24h and 1.379 kWh/24h energy were consumed during the day and night, respectively. In the experiments of K4 temperature class, these values were measured as 3.089 kWh/24h in day mode and 1.341 kWh/24h in night mode. As a result, the energy consumption in the K1 temperature class was 5.37% and 2.83% higher in day and night modes, respectively, compared to the K4 temperature class. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The focus of developing economies in recent years has shifted from the growth of per capita national income to sustainability. A sustainable economy is now possible with a sustainable environment. Therefore, energy utilization rates of countries have become a very important issue with the sustainability framework. In this study, the energy consumption convergence of the 10 European countries with the highest per capita energy consumption is analyzed using the data set covering the period between 1965 and 2022. Conventional unit root tests and many recent unit root tests with extended residuals are used to detect energy convergence. Conventional unit root tests did not provide sufficient evidence for convergence, and the classical unit root tests were found to be very weak in rejecting the null hypothesis. When the residuals obtained from the classical unit root tests are analyzed, it is found that the residuals of many countries are not normally distributed. Therefore, RALS-type unit root tests with extended residuals were applied to the data sets. Although no convergence was detected for any country because of classical unit root tests, it was found that some European countries showed convergence behavior in the results of RALS-type unit root tests. Since the data set covers 58 years, it is known that many economic fluctuations have been experienced in this long period. For this reason, the most recent RALS type unit root test, which considers structural breaks, was applied to the data sets. No convergence was detected in the classical unit root tests, and because of the unbroken RALS-type unit root tests, it was found that three countries converged to the group average. As a result of the latest RALS-type unit root test with breaks found that 7 out of 10 selected European countries (Germany, Belgium, France, Netherlands, Italy, Romania, and Greece) converged to the group average.

Energy consumption is of great importance for the sustainable development of a country in terms of economic, social and environmental aspects. In financial development, it is an important factor for a country's economic growth, stability and prosperity. In the paper, the nexus among energy consumption, financial development, economic growth and trade openness were tested using the ARDL method for the period 1980-2020. In the study, the square of financial development was also included in the analysis, and the nonlinear relationship between energy consumption and financial development was also examined. The findings showed that there is an inverted U-shaped relationship between energy consumption and financial development. Accordingly, initially, financial development increases energy consumption, but after a certain point, energy consumption begins to decrease. In addition, it has been determined that economic growth positively effects energy consumption in both the short and long term, while trade openness negatively effects. Analysis of the relationship between financial development and energy consumption will be an important step to understand the economic, environmental and social effects of energy policies and to build a sustainable energy future.

Steam is used to dry the milk powder in milk powder factories. When the steam used turns into condense, there is energy due to the pressure on it. This energy is generally referred to as waste heat. There are many ways to recover waste heat. Within the scope of this study, the calculations of the preheating coil will be made, and waste heat recovery will be achieved by transferring the latent heat above the condensate water to the air. In today's conditions, waste heat recovery processes are important in order to ensure energy efficiency. It is seen in the market that the sector develops projects within the scope of many savings measures and energy efficiency projects are formed as the fastest recycling. In this study, which was set out to use the competitive energy more efficiently, it was calculated how much of the heat load on the condensate could transfer to the air by verifying the air flow rate with the help of the pitot tube. The battery designed with the data obtained in line with these calculations was integrated into the system and commissioned. The temperature and pressure differences of the integrated battery were measured. The heat transfer and pressure losses obtained from the experimental results were compared with the values obtained with the CFD package program. The energy recovery obtained from the programming and training is 222.085 TL. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The liberalization of trade and the rapid development in industrialization increase the carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of countries in developing market economies and their share in global warming. In this context, it is aimed to investigate whether Turkey's exports, energy consumption, foreign direct investments, and economic growth, which is in a developing market economy, have an effect on carbon dioxide emissions. In this study, Vector error correction model (VECM) was used to determine the short-term effect with ARDL bounds test approach using annual data for the period 1990-2015. According to the results of the ARDL limit test approach, a long-term statistically significant and positive relationship was found between CO2 emissions, foreign direct investments, and energy consumption, while a statistically insignificant and negative relationship was found between exports and economic growth. In addition, a 1% increase in foreign direct investments increases CO2 emissions by 9%, and a 1% increase in energy consumption increases CO2 emissions by 76%. The limitation of this study is that the energy consumption data was calculated until 2015 and there is no continuation of the series. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Globalization is a major global phenomena that is influencing economies and communities, ensuring financial and cultural integration around the world, as well as movement of goods, services, technologies, and capital. On the background of the globalization, the planet as a single ecosystem acts as an element to prevent the environmental degradation and handle the global problem, such as biodiversity, the ozone layer, or climate change. The purpose of this study is to examine the role of globalization on environmental quality by applying the Environmental Kuznet Curve hypothesis for Pakistan over the period 1975–2015. Bound test has been carried out to examine the long-run relationship between series of selected variables, and using the auto regressive distributed lag methodology and error correction model was investigated in examining the short-run and long-run relationship between globalization and environmental quality. The empirical findings reveal that carbon dioxide emissions and independent variables such as GDP, energy, and the globalization have a long-term relationship. In the instance of Pakistan, the findings of this investigation were confirmed by the Environmental Kuznet Curve hypothesis, which is also supported by the impulse response function. Furthermore, Granger causality demonstrates that there is a long-term one-way causality in Pakistan spanning GDP, energy use, globalization, and carbon dioxide emission. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Energy is used at every stage of production and the demand for energy continues to increase day by day. With this feature, it is accepted that there is a strong positive relationship between the industrialization process and energy consumption. While the dependence on energy leads people to seek new energy sources, it also directs them to work for innovations that will realize energy efficiency. There is a strong relationship between the energy factor, which is used as an effective and important input in production processes, and economic development. Therefore, the increase in energy consumption directs the economies to work on energy savings, that is, policies to increase energy efficiency, in order to reduce costs. This study examines the relationship between energy consumption and energy efficiency within the framework of Jevons Paradox, making use of the annual data of the G-7 countries from 1990 to 2017. According to empirical findings, a one percent increase in gross domestic product per capita reduces energy use by 1.65%, and a one percent increase in energy imports reduces energy use by 0.72 percent. A one percent increase in energy intensity reduces energy use by 0.85 percent. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Avrupa Birliği (AB) ve Türkiye’de ekonomik büyüme, kentleşme ve tüketim kalıplarındaki gelişmelerle, artan enerji talebinin yerli kaynaklardan sağlanamadığından, petrol ve doğalgaz başta olmak üzere enerjide dışa bağımlıdır. Artan enerji talebi fosil yakıtlarla karşılanmaktadır. Ekonomik büyümenin sağlanması, sanayi üretiminin sürdürülmesi, ulaşım sektöründeki artan talebin karşılanması, artan konut enerji talebinin karşılanması için enerji ithalatının sürdürülmesi gerekmektedir. Çalışmada, AB ülkeleri ile Türkiye için enerji bağımlılığı, enerji tüketimi, ekonomik büyüme, 1990-2018 yılları arasında yıllık seriler arasındaki ilişki panel veri analizi ile araştırılmıştır. Analiz sonucunda, enerji bağımlılığındaki 1 birimlik artış GDP de 5904.44 Euro’luk bir artışa neden olmaktadır. AB ve Türkiye’de enerji bağımlılığından ekonomik büyümeye doğru bir nedensellik söz konusudur. Bundan dolayı, ekonomik büyüme hipotezi geçerlidir. Buna göre, AB ve Türkiye’de enerji bağımlılığının artması büyümeyi artırıcı yönde etki yapmaktadır. Enerji bağımlılığını azaltmak için yenilenebilir enerji yatırımlarını artırmalarının yanında, enerji tasarrufu ve verimliliğini artırıcı stratejiler uygulamaları gerekmektedir. Enerji sektöründe teknolojik gelişmeler sağlandıkça dijitalleşme, enerji otomasyon program ve yazılımlarının geliştirilerek enerji kaynaklarının daha etkin kullanımı söz konusu olacaktır.
