Status of Renewables and Energy Efficiency in Turkey: 

Status of Renewables and Energy Efficiency in Turkey Dr.Tanay Sıdkı Uyar Head, Energy Section, Department of Mechanical Engineering Marmara University Faculty of Engineering Göztepe Istanbul Turkey,tanayuyar@marmara.edu.tr Building the Partnership for Sustainable Energy 1st REEEP Regional Meeting in CEE and Turkey September 30, 2004, Radisson SAS Hotel, Budapest, Hungary

Slide2: 

Technology Constraints Resources Short term thinking without Informed Decision Making International Agreements

Slide3: 

Dependency on Natural Gas Pressure of the Take or Pay Natural Gas Purchase Agreements Tendency to Build Nuclear Power Plants Pressure of the Obsolete Technology Transfer Practically no control or limits in energy consumption per product basis

Slide4: 

Three conditions: political will: political commitment technical ability: committed & skilled technicians people’s involvement: public participation

Slide5: 

The main barriers for Energy Efficiency in Turkey The economic activities relying more on the inefficient technology trade The capacity of the individuals to interfere and shape the technology standard setting related practices to carry on business as usual activities.

Slide6: 

Social Costs of Energy Generation and Consumption is not yet considered as an economic value The National programme of European Accession is not designed as a tool to bring the Turkish standards for the new investments to the level of the best standards or the targets of the European Union Member countries. Lack of legal infrastructure for promoting Renewable Energy Utilization and Energy End Use Efficiency

Slide7: 

No consideration for externalities. No space to breath for renewable energies, No value given for Clean Air. The artificial conflict created between the industrial development and environmental protection Lacking of long term integrated energy-economy and environment strategic planning.

Slide8: 

Financial situation is an important factor. Export credits of foreign countries are usually provided for the projects transfering the sub standard technologies without any local market value. The hope is to recover some money to support the R&D of more efficient and less polluting technologies. High energy prices is putting more pressure on the economy and leaves no possibility for being competitive in the international markets for Turkish Industry.

Slide9: 

The willingness and success of the foreign countries to transfer their obsolete technologies to Turkey such as Mobile fuel oil power plants Centralised Coal Power Plants of 1000 MW capacity Nuclear Power Plants

Slide10: 

Electricity Production in Turkey from the Renewable Energy Resources(2002)

Slide11: 

a political decision on Energy Sustainability is needed , including: promotion of energy efficiency, use of renewable energies, information to the citizens, cooperation with other local energy actors.

THIRD INTERNATIONAL SARIGERME ENERGY END USE EFFICIENCY SYMPOSIUM AND WORKSHOP, 1 – 3 NOVEMBER 2004 Iberotel Sarıgerme Park , Ortaca , Mugla Turkey EUROSOLAR Turkey Turkish Section of European Association of Renewable Energies İçgören Pasaji, Moda Caddesi, Moda, Kadıköy İstanbul Turkey Tel: +90 532 7744525, Faks: +90 216 4142997 e-mail: tanayuyar@eurosolar.org.tr

Slide13: 

Rational and efficient use of energy has become an important issue all over the western world. The first workshop, held in 2001, had focused its efforts on the legal, administrative, technical and financial problems limiting the full implementation in Turkey, with special emphasis on the adverse effects of inflation. The factors, influencing the inefficiency in the utilization of energy, were sought. The participants also discussed the relevance of the financial analyses. The second workshop and exhibition had been designed especially on the efficient and rational end use of electrical energy. The two very important concepts of sustainable development, efficient use of energy and demand side management have attracted considerable attention in the recent years. The European Community is giving special importance to the integration of the energy network in Europe. Therefore, Turkey as a candidate to the union must also develop and issue a series of regulations and legislations, to adapt herself to the existing system.

Slide14: 

We all have vital roles in the process to establish the sustainable energy environment. We must increase our consciousness on environmental issues and the concept of social costs, reorganize public education and develop a reliable data base on energy. Social costs have to be determined and included in the comparison of energy production systems with respect to their primary fuel source. Otherwise the damage on the environment and public health will reach irreversible levels, drifting us to a world, impossible to live in. This symposium and workshop aims to provide a platform for the scientists and researchers, working in the area of efficient and rational use of energy, to present their studies and for developers and manufacturers of energy efficiency equipment and methods to exhibit their products and services. The scientists, industrialists and the decision makers in the field will have a chance to come together to discuss all the aspects of legal, technical and management issues. In addition, the workshop will furnish the participants with correct and up to date information on energy efficiency and to increase their capacity of handling related projects.
