Article Citation - WoS: 33Citation - Scopus: 34Lignite Resources of Turkey: Geology Reserves and Exploration History(Elsevier Science, 2014) Ediger, Volkan S.; Berk, Istemi; Kosebalaban, AyhanThis article aims to emphasize the importance of lignite which is the mostly used domestic energy source in the Turkish energy mix by briefly overviewing its geology reserves and exploration. Lignites are distributed in mostly continental sedimentary basins of Tertiary age all over the country. The lignite-bearing basins display the characteristics of different geological settings of which grabens and half-grabens are the most common ones especially in western Anatolia. The geological and chemical characteristics of Turkish lignites do not only create some important problems during mining and coal preparation but also make them unfavorable for consumption. However since they are the most valuable energy resource of the country they should benefit the economy in the most efficient and environmentally friendly way. Moreover two most important conclusions of this study are as follows: firstly reserve estimation practices in the country should definitely be revised to provide a more realistic evaluation of the country's lignite potential for developing medium- and long-term energy strategies and policies for decision- and policy-makers. Secondly exploration and development activities should be coordinated by a single institution most likely a government institution as has been the case for some 50 years. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.

Despite ongoing global efforts, particularly since the Paris Agreement in 2015, renewables are expected to not fully meet global energy demand by 2050. In this context, natural gas is expected to be a complementary fuel to support renewables throughout the transition. This paper assesses whether the future availability of global resources would enable natural gas to support sustainable energy transition. To this end, we first employ R/P ratio and Hubbert curve analyses and then compare our results with the recent natural gas supply/demand forecasts in the literature. Our findings suggest that global natural gas resources, both conventional and unconventional, are enough to meet forecasted global natural gas demand. This requires substantial investment in the natural gas industry, which would further increase green-house gas emissions. Therefore, natural gas resource-rich countries and the natural gas industry must adapt their operations to the new global paradigm framed by Paris Agreement and United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.Article Citation - Scopus: 5Europeanization Under Membership Uncertainty: the Cases of Environmental and Energy Policy in Turkey;(International Relations Council of Turkey, 2013) Yildirim,Ç.; Baysan,A.; Ediger,V.Ş.This article examines modalities of rule adoption from the EU's acquis communautaire under conditions of membership uncertainty. Drawing upon the case of Turkey, we probe into the viability of a policy-type approach (drawing upon Theodor Lowi). Our main contention is that the substantive design of policies (distributive or redistributive qualities) has consequential implications for the form (conflict-free vs. veto player constellations) and outcome (transposition likelihood) of the subsequent political process. The proposed policy-type approach, internalist in its outlook, is thus readily compatible with available Europeanization models which are externalist insofar as being premised on the study of domestic politics. In terms of policymaking, the EU needs to make more frequent use of policy-based intermediate rewards to encourage rule adoption where membership prospects are uncertain.Article Citation - WoS: 37Citation - Scopus: 42Turkish Public Preferences for Energy(Elsevier Science, 2018) Ediger, Volkan S.; Kirkil, Gökhan; Çelebi, Emre; Ucal, Meltem Şengün; Kentmen-Cin, ÇiğdemPublic concern over energy supplies prices sustainability and efficiency has emerged as a major issue around the world. Yet most of what we know regarding public opinion on energy comes from North America and Europe. This paper presents the results from the 2016 Turkish Public Preferences for Energy Survey which included 1204 respondents and examined Turkish residents' household energy consumption energy policy preferences and environmental concerns. The main findings were that Turkish citizens consider natural gas and electricity highly expensive view dependence on imported energy as Turkey's most pressing energy challenge and recognize the problem of climate change. This lends public support for wind and solar power but at the same time energy issues and the environment policies of political parties do not affect voting choices and political preferences.Article Citation - WoS: 8The great game in the Levant: energy geopolitics in the Eastern Mediterranean [Levant’ta büyük oyun: Doğu Akdeniz’in enerji jeopolitiği](Uluslararası İlişkiler Konseyi Derneği, 2012) Ediger, Volkan S.; Devlen, Balkan; McDonald, Deniz BingölThis study explores the historical evolution of the Levant region from the trade system to hydrocarbon geopolitics by using a longue duree approach one which evaluates the region's present situation in light of developments in oil and natural gas exploration production and export. The concepts of great power politics and balance of power frame the investigation of permanent and changing dimensions of hydrocarbon geopolitics. The first of the two hypotheses tested and verified in this study is that the geopolitics of the Levant maintains its historical importance for the global hegemon and for the international state system even though the central thrust of the Levant's geopolitics has been tranformed from trade to energy. The second hypothesis is that regional and global peace and stability increase when the geopolitics of the Levant is in the control of a hegemon. Instances of conflict increase and opportunities for cooperation decrease when the Levant's geopolitics slips from the grasp of a single hegemon as a result of shifts in the balance of power. Following a discussion of threats and opportunities for conflict and cooperation in the Levant region possible strategies for the regional actors are evaluated. Lastly the threats and opportunities that Turkey faces are situated within emergent trends in the energy geopolitics of the region.Book Part Citation - Scopus: 2Global energy use(Springer International Publishing, 2023) Ediger,V.S.The concept of sustainable energy transition has evolved over the last six decades. Conservationism was the concept under which sustainable energy development was first conceived in the 1960s, but after the two oil price shocks, conservationism evolved into sustainable energy transition. The world is in the midst of a sustainable energy transitional period during which a major shift from fossil fuels to renewables energy use will inevitably occur. This transition has two key components: increasing use of renewable energy and improving energy efficiency. However, four major changes occurred in the world's energy system in recent decades: (1) the decline of the rate of growth of global energy demand because of energy crises, (2) trend reversal in energy substitution, (3) increasing demand in the developing, non-OECD world, and (4) China becoming the world's biggest energy consumer. These changes are expected to affect sustainable energy use during the ongoing energy transition. They clearly show us that the center of gravity in energy has shifted from developed world to developing world and that the new dynamics will certainly differ from those of the fossil fuel era. It is obvious that the ongoing energy transition will certainly be more difficult than previous ones. Governments and policy makers, which are known to play an important role in energy transitions, should mobilize private actors to take the initiative and people to actively participate in energy transition. Meanwhile, the best policy would be to continue to increase renewable energy use and energy efficiency. © The Author(s), 2023.

Most of the electrical energy that we use today are coming from fossil fuels and centralized power plants which are urging the world for this energy transition. In order to achieve a sustainable energy system, decentralized renewable energy systems have been seen as a solution. These systems provide cleaner,self-sufficient and consumer oriented electricity generation, transmission and distribution. Within these systems, people become a part of the electricity generation process and become prosumers. Hence, the electricity generation switches from big corporations that generate electricity to individuals. Blockchain, in this context, enable peer-to-peer transactions between prosumers and consumers without the involvement of any third parties. These developments encouraged people to become prosumers and engage in electricity generation processes. All of these concepts fasten the energy transition in the world. Such a transition in energy is more important for Turkey as it is suffering from vast fossil-fuel imports and inefficiency in electricity generation. In order to overcome these problems, Turkey could establish decentralized renewable energy systems. However, there are many barriers in the world and in Turkey to the applications of decentralized renewable energy systems. The purpose of this master thesis is to look at the current applications of decentralized renewable energy systems, review the barriers in the world and in Turkey and proposing solutions from global examplesArticle Citation - Scopus: 1Life Cycle Assessment of Black Tea Production and Consumption in Türkiye: Insights From Waste Management Scenarios(Elsevier, 2025) Uctug, Fehmi Gorkem; Ediger, Volkan S.; Kucuker, Mehmet Ali; Berk, Istemi stemi; Inan, Ali; Tugcu, MelisaThis study conducts a life cycle assessment (LCA) of tea production and consumption in T & uuml;rkiye, the world leader in per capita tea consumption. Aiming to identify environmental hotspots and propose sustainable solutions, a cradle-to-grave LCA was performed using CCaLC2 software, CML methodology, and the Ecoinvent 3.0 database. It covers cultivation, processing, transportation, and consumption stages, focusing on key environmental indicators like carbon footprint and acidification potential. The results reveal that consumption dominates the environmental footprint (91%) due to energy-intensive brewing methods. Cultivation and transportation contribute minimally (4% each). This highlights the need for promoting energy-efficient brewing practices and consumer adoption of renewable energy sources. The study also explores the environmental implications of different waste management strategies. Composting emerged as the most beneficial approach for reducing the carbon footprint and photochemical oxidants creation, while incineration might be preferable for other impact categories. This study underscores the importance of addressing energy consumption during tea brewing and encouraging renewable energy use among consumers. Additionally, it promotes composting as a crucial waste management strategy for a more sustainable tea value chain in T & uuml;rkiye. These findings offer valuable insights for policymakers, industry players, and tea drinkers to make informed decisions that minimize environmental impact.Master Thesis Analysis of the Liberalization of the Turkish Natural Gas Market(Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2023) UĞUR, ETHEM; Volkan Ediger, ŞevketNatural gas is used as a bridge fuel during the ongoing transition from fossil fuels to renewables because it produces less carbon emissions than oil and coal. In addition, countries, which are aiming to become more carbon neutral, are replacing coal with natural gas. These reasons have led the natural gas industry to grow and the gas business has gained an international dimension. In order to keep up with these developments, countries liberalize their gas markets by opening them to competition. The two important pillars of liberalization are third-party access to the physical infrastructure and the demolition of monopolies in the market. The European Union (EU) has implemented a series of reforms to be able to fully liberalize its internal gas markets. Turkey, the fourth largest gas-consuming country in Europe, has also made a series of reforms in order to harmonize with Europe during the EU accession process since 2001. However, Turkey’s goals to open its internal gas market to competition have only been partially achieved. The main purpose of this study is to analyze the performance of the Turkish natural gas market and to determine to what extent gas market reforms have been successful. The results of a detailed examination of the market and the survey carried out among the major market players have shown that the Turkish natural gas market should be improved in transparency, competitiveness, and cost-based pricing.Master Thesis Renewable Energy in Turkey: a Cleaner, Self- Sufficient Alternative To Coal(Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2019) Karagöz, Gözde Nur; Ediger, Volkan S.The world is in the midst of a transformative energy transition, moving to renewable energy sources from fossil fuels. The biggest reasons for this transition are global climate change and resource scarcity, both of which are caused by the use of fossil fuels. Among fossil fuels, coal has the highest emissions and causes more significant damage to people and the environment. Despite its negative effects, coal has a large share of the world's energy mix. However, many countries are moving away from coal and switch to renewable energy sources. Turkey is not one of those countries, as the energy system is still heavily dependent on fossil fuels and coal specifically. Turkey is planning on new coal-fired power plants in addition to existing ones and is generally supporting the coal industry. In addition to the environmental harm to Turkey – and the world – of its coal usage, most of the coal that Turkey burns is imported, thus contributing to the country's trade deficit. In order to limit the negative effects of coal use, Turkey needs to utilize its high renewable energy potential. This study reviews the current situation of coal and renewable energy sources in Turkey. It aims to look at current coal and renewable energy policies and compare them. According to this analysis, it will then offer suggestions for how Turkey can phase out coal and switch to renewable energies.
